Persuade your chauffeur to come off the M6 at Junction 38 - take in Gamelands (10mins from Junction 38) and then drive up the A6 taking in whatever you can around Shap (oddendale, gunnarkeld, avneue stones?)and stopping at Mayburgh Henge (5 mins from Junction 40) before getting back on M6 at Penrith. Oh and if You are going that way you might as well go over to Askham and climb up the moor to see the Cockpit and the cairns up above Ullswater - all very nice.
Girdle Stanes & Loupin Stones - probably under an hour from the wrong side of Carlisle - near Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist monastery if that tickles your fancy. Plenty of offerings on the bush there and no nasty farmers to cut it down ; )
Have fun cx
