Castlerigg Stone Circle

Castlerigg Stone Circle is a prehistoric monument and one of the most impressive stone circles in Britain. It is situated on a natural plateau, commanding a 360-degree view over the surrounding fells. The circle is composed of 38 free-standing stones, some up to 3 meters high, and is believed to have been constructed around 3200 BC. The site is important in terms of megalithic astronomy and geometry, and its original purpose is still unknown. Visitors can enjoy the stunning views and explore the circle, which is one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and possibly in Europe. The site is also home to a rectangular setting of 10 stones and offers a unique glimpse into the region's rich history
