Castlerigg Stone Circle - Early last Sunday morning I wandered up to this deeply impressive site from nearby Keswick. One of the earliest circles in the country, comprised of 38 surviving stones, dating to 3000 BC.
Surrounded by Lake District peaks this is truly a dramatic location. I find it interesting how many megalithic sites have a quiet subtlety to them, this being one with a more elemental and sublime presence.
