Frankfurt airport is considered one of the biggest in the world and the city itself is also a powerful economic centre of Europe.

Old, drafty castles and ghosts seem to go hand in hand...
Muncaster Castle is a privately owned castle which overlooks the Esk River about a mile south of the west-coastal town of Ravenglass in Cumbria England. The site was originally selected by the Romans as a place from which to guard the Esk River. At present the castle is owned by the Pennington family who has lived at Muncaster for at least 800 years. The land had been granted to Alan de Penitone in 1208. The oldest parts of the castle include the Great Hall and the 14th century pele tower, which is a type of watch tower fortification unique to the English-Scottish border region. On a number of occasions the castle has been extended and enlarged.
Recent historical research (early 2000s) has uncovered records which indicate that in 1678 the castle had 14 chimneys, while a document relating to payment of Window Tax in 1746 recorded that at that date the castle has 103 windows and 55 rooms and corridors. At the time of the ownership of Sir Joseph Pennington in the 1770s the castle had fallen into serious decay. His son Sir John Pennington who arrived to live at the castle after his wedding in 1778 was dismayed when a part of the building collapsed while he was inspecting it. It cost him some 6 thousand pounds a very large amount of money in the 18th century to rebuild and restore the castle.
Today the castle contains a wealth of architectural features and artifacts from a wide span of English history, including a rare portrait of King Henry VI, an Elizabethan banqueting table and an impressive library with about 6,000 books.
The catle is surrounded by 77 acres of woodland gardens in a park of some 18,000 acres. The gardens contain many
