Muncaster Castle, is a genuine treasure trove of art and antiques. Its
Great Hall, Octagonal Library and elegant Dining Room are all windows
on a grand past. But Muncaster's wild history reveals a flipside to life
in a stately home. The castle evolved from the Pele Tower, built to repel
marauding Scots. Those who stay here say it is haunted by ghosts, including
the legendary Tom Fool.
