Castlerigg

Took a trip to see this for the first time yesterday. Easy to find and very accessible. Parking right beside the field. Very busy on a sunny afternoon so if peace and tranquility might be something you’re into go early in the day possibly. Quite amazed by one group who decided to plonk themselves down on the main photo opportunity and have a loud conversation like they were outside a city centre Starbucks, expressing amusement that they “will be in everyone’s pictures”. That aside there is space and views, very little litter and the many dogs seemed mostly under control. It is what it is, and it is a tourist attraction, so hardly surprised to find tourists.
It’s a nice circle with remains of possibly a burial cairn on East side. This was a scouting trip but I’ll be back at a quieter time. Location wise it is stunning.
