The Hawk & Owl Centre is part of Muncaster Castle’s grounds near Ravenglass in the Western Lake District. Its bird displays feature owls and birds of prey, including flying demonstrations. Families can also explore the castle gardens, maze and adventure playground, or try activities such as archery, axe throwing and crossbow shooting, with age restrictions applying to some activities. You can add castle entry to your ticket if you want to see inside; the gardens and other attractions provide plenty to explore without it.
