Castlerigg Stone Circle

Castlerigg Stone Circle, one of Britain’s most impressive Neolithic stone circles, dates back approximately 5,000 years, even predating the famous Stonehenge. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, this ancient site is framed by the majestic peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra. The circle consists of 38 stones, some standing up to 3 meters high, arranged in a near-perfect circle. Visitors can walk among these weathered stones, imagining the rituals and gatherings that took place here millennia ago, while enjoying the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
