A Guide to the Stone Circles of the Lake District

A Guide to the Stone Circles of the Lake District | David Watson

I bought a guide to Castlerigg Stone Circle from the ice cream van park on the roadside, staffed by a guitar-playing vendor - definitely part of the experience! I bought a lolly ice, too🍦😊
Mrs B reminded me I'd been before in 2016, but it was pissing down, so that was a brief visit. This time was sunny and more leisurely and immersive. I touched all the stones, but didn't count them as legend says it's impossible! ⬇️

Bookwomble I got talking to a nice American lady on holiday from Michigan. As the stones were likely erected as a Neolithic gathering place, it's incredible that 5,000 years later they're still bringing people together.
I rounded off my Stone Circle Day when I got home by listening to the Megaliths edition of Melvyn Bragg's "In Our Time" podcast. I made good choices today! ?

Bookwomble @Suet624 I'd love to visit some sites in Ireland, especially Newgrange. I hope you get to visit some stone circles before too long 😊 2w
