Bleaberry Haws Summit Cairn

Cairn(s)

postman Sep 29, 2019

Follow directions for the stone circle and then just head up.
Crowning the summit of Bleaberry Haws is a small modern walkers cairn but it sits on a much wider obvious bronze age cairn. The views are spellbinding in all directions, but it’s the Old Man of Coniston that holds your attention. While looking towards the Old Man bring your gaze down to ground level and in the distance is a cairn to which I’m off to next but between us is the odd linear feature or Dyke.
