Image of Buttermere (Cup Marked Stone) by GLADMAN

Hard to imagine a much more glorious landscape setting for rock art, I guess. Looking from Striddle Crag, Fleetwith Pike, across an unfeasibly hot and hazy Buttermere.

In Buttermere village turn down towards the Fish Hotel, passing the hotel, follow the road and park at the pay and display. Once parked you will see a large domed outcrop (you cannot miss it). Follow the footpath that takes you over the stream and into the campsite. The cup marks are found at ground level on the footpath that goes around the outcrop.
