Glasserton Mains rock art panel takes a little bit of finding, as it is one rocky outcrop among many, in a landscape covered in gorse, but it offers wonderful coastal views to the Fell of Carleton.

In the intervening years since Brian’s visit here in 2006, the gorse and grass has encroached upon the outcrop quite a lot, to the point it has covered up a fair bit of the rock art. Maybe not a bad thing, as it will offer it some protection. Still very much worth hunting out though.
