About Ravenglass

Ravenglass, a small coastal village, breathes the salty air of the Cumbrian coast. It lies 15.5 km north-west of Broughton in Furness (from Broughton in Furness: bearing 304°T, OS grid SD 085 963), and is situated south-south-east of Holmrook village. The sands here are wide and shallow, often reflecting the pearl-grey sky with a quiet, unassuming beauty. This is the western gateway to the Lake District National Park, a place where the fells begin their dramatic ascent, yet Ravenglass itself retains a gentle, almost languid character. The village is the terminus for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, a narrow-gauge line that chugs its way inland, carrying passengers on a scenic journey through the Duddon Valley, a ribbon of green cut through by the river's steady murmur. The ancient ruins of St. Michael's Church, a modest but sturdy stone structure, stand as a silent witness to centuries of ebb and flow, its weathered walls absorbing the low, persistent hum of the sea.
