| Yep, those two weeks are a haven for those of us who work in the Edicashun sector :-) If you're travelling from Manchester there's a whole heap of stuff along the M6 corridor, but it might be worth taking a detour to visit Druid's Circle – a fairly short walk from parking. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/71 A bit further west is the fantastic Sunkenkirk, as already mentioned, but it's a long walk http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/79 Just a bit further west again is Giant's Grave http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/73 and the rather nice Black Combe. If you'd rather stay close to the M6 then Gamelands is as good a place to start as any http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/72 A short walk from parking but I'm not sure if there's a gate into the field or not – I seem to remember climbing over the wall. Continuing north, Kemp Howe is work a quick look. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/328 Further north there's Gunnerkeld of course before you get to Penrith but there's plenty of stuff on either side of the M6 depending on your interests and time available. Once at Penrith it's worth taking a detour south to Eamont Bridge to see King Arthurs Round Table http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/78 and Mayburgh Henge http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/327 You've already been to the Megs, Glassonby and Castlerigg but personally I wouldn't be able to resist dashing down the A66 to watch the sun-set at Castlerigg before heading home. The eastern side of the Lakes isn't the most picturesque in term of landscape and that Lake District 'wow' factor, but there are some impressive sites to be visited. Hmmm. . . I think I fancy a quick trip up there myself now! -Chris Reply | with quote |  7th April 2006ce 11:26 In reply to: Day in the Lakes (BeakerUK) |
