So apart from the two obvious biggies, what's worth seeing then? Not averse to the odd bit of medieval action either.

I assume you are referring to Castlerigg & Long Meg?

If so, you MUST visit Swinside (Sunkenkirk). Thats an order. :)

Little Meg is a lovely site (Keep an eye out for the rock art)

Druids Circle at Ulverston, Gamelands, The Cockpit, Mayburgh, Copt Howe, White Moss, Blakeley Raise, Greycroft.

The cup marked rock outcrop in Grasmere (right next to the car park) is well worth a look. Grasmere itself (and surrounding area) is very pretty although it is a 'tourist trap'.

Did they move Long Meg over the M5 then? ;p

No, I meant Castlerigg and Swinside. Seen 'em both, but will be re-visiting. Heartily agree regarding the esteem in which you hold the latter :)
