Castlerigg is perhaps the most atmospheric and dramatically sited of all British stone circles, with panoramic views and the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as a backdrop.

The earlier the better, less people means more opportunity to enjoy these stones . There’s a good amount of parking space on the long road the runs along.
Very beautiful place and the air was so fresh, surrounding by snowy top mountain . Great place to walk and play with kids and dogs.
Don't climb on the rocks or you'll risk some busy body telling you to get off. On second thoughts, climb on the rocks. Go with the experience and enjoy!
Try and time your visit for sunset . The shadows add loads of atmosphere to an already stunning location.
Huge stone circle with an absolutely stunning backdrop. A must visit when in the lakes .
Just stones and the view , nothing much to see. The ground gets muddy with patches of water when wet. Should take your wellies with you.
Beautiful views ... great photo-ops ????????
Don't be a dick and climb on the stones . It's a 4500 year old ancient monument after all.
That's a long walk to see a lot of sheep.
Come first thing if you wanna get in some nice shots without loads of idiot kids .... TBH, unless you come EARLY then don't bother.
stunning views

Such a beautiful walk, around 10 miles long! Lots of varied landscapes - Craig Colledge
Awesome gingerbread. I found it crazy how long the queue actually was for such a small place. But it moves fast and definitely worth it. Be prepared to buy once you get in there tho! - James Brothers
I can not express how incredible Aira Force is. I spent many years here when I was a child, after a long long time I was able to come back and experience the magic I always remembered! Beautiful. - Karis Page
