Experts' Choice Award Castlerigg Stone Circle
What the experts agree on
Ancient stone circle predating Stonehenge by millennia. Thirty-eight megaliths crown a hilltop near Keswick with sweeping valley views. Remarkably accessible and free, making it Lake District's most atmospheric prehistoric site.
“Castlerigg with its 38 megaliths situated on grassy land near Keswick is older (5 000 years old) than the legendary Stonehenge.”
