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. :)

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 :)

Ahhh, 'Cumbria', 'Lake District', all the bleedin' same innit? (best daan saaaarf cockney sun reader voice)

Yes, Swinside (& Castlerigg for that matter) absolutely fantastic.

Did a revisit of both sites (great light!), and also Druid's Circle and Blakey Raise. Throw in Piel Castle and Furness Abbey for good measure, and I'm a happy camper.
