Days Out For The FamilyCastlerigg Stone Circle
Cumberland, England
Stone circle near Keswick in Cumbria, North West England
The experience
About this day out
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. A ring of 38 standing stones, it was probably built around 4,500 years ago, in the late Neolithic period. On select summer dates, weather permitting, volunteers are on site to give short talks and answer questions.
