The infamous Stonehenge is probably already on your bucket list. Here’s a little secret, England has tons of stone circles up and down the country, including the Lake District’s Castlerigg.
Castlerigg is one of England’s earliest Neolithic Stone Circles, dating to 3000 BC. Unlike Stonehenge, there’s no entrance fee, it’s not roped off, and often there are no crowds.
There are three other stone circles in the Lake District; Swinside, Cockpit, and Burnmoor. If you are into rock carvings, check out Copt Howe. Plus, there are burial mounds and other Bronze Age and Roman settlements throughout the Lake District.
I agree with you, the Lake District should be in every traveler bucket list for sure. My best times in this amazing place are unforgettable and this make me recommend it to my friends or family when they ask me for a great destination.
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more about other destinations.
Glad you were able to spend some time in the gorgeous Lake District. It really is one of a kind.
