Castlerigg Stone Circle

The stone circle dates from approximately 3200 BC. Legend has it that it is impossible to count the number of stones in the circle, you'll allegedly get a different number each time you try. From the circle it is possible to see the peaks of Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra, some of the highest in Cumbria.
