Castlerigg Stone Circle
Castlerigg is perhaps the most atmospheric and dramatically sited of all British stone circles, with panoramic views and the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as a backdrop. It's also among the earliest British circles, raised in about 3000 BC during the Neolithic period.
Margaret and I found this to be a most rewarding visit - with wonderful light - we stayed in the centre of Keswick, so it was within fairly easy walking distance. Had to wait for the 'stone huggers' to clear off before taking this !! A lot of people like to visit here and soak up the atmosphere, not surprisingly.
