Castlerigg Stone Circle in the northern Lake District is a collection of 38 stones approximately 30m in diameter. Inside the circle is a further 10 stones creating a rectangle. Castlerigg Stone Circle was probably built around 3,000BC. Here’s a virtual look around.
I’m really pleased to be published in Decembers edition of the BBC Countryfile magazine. My Castlerigg Dawn photo was selected amongst other great photos of Cumbria for a several page feature. Here you can see more info on this photo in my Gallery.
Although the recent weather would have you believe it’s the height of summer. I had the opportunity to get out earlier than normal last week.
Blencathra is a fine fell in the North of the Lake District, a large rolling mass that looks smooth and friendly from most angles. Sharp Edge is a relatively short ridge that joins the eastern side the Blencathra’s summit with Scales Tarn below. You get a brief glimpse of sharp edge from the A66 at the foot of Blencathra.
