Amazing prehistoric place. Probably seldom visited, but my 9 year old described it as a magical place.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Mayburgh Henge, Cumbria Circa 2,000 to 3,000 BC The Henge is constructed from peddles found in the nearby river. This site would have been massive in its day as it formed part of a complex of three henges covering 0.6 hectares. This site certainly was significant in it's time. Kin Arthur's Round Table Estimated 2,000 BC Neolithic earth Henge. Local legend is that this was King Arthur's jousting site
Not a lot to see, just a single stone in a depressed grass circle. Shame the site of the other stones isn't marked out. A few other English Heritage sites nearby so worth combining if you are in the area
Great bit of history park up and you have to walk a sort distance to the site and it's freeVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Beautiful on a frosty morning, not a major monument but if you are going past its worth a visit and it's free
Nice little place. Not a lot of parking. Nice walk in field. Free entry. It's a short walk from roadside
Well worth stopping at if you are in the area. Impressive bank made 4-5 thousand years ago out of cobble stones. A single large >2m standing stone in centre. We visited Brougham Castle as well, which is a very short drive away.
Nice to see if you're in the area or passing throughVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Huge stone circle just outside Penrith and right next to the M6, which rather spoils the peace and quiet. This one is really unusual; although there is one large stone in the centre a further two were removed some time in the 18th or 19th century the outer circle is made from thousands of tons of cobbles that were brought from the nearby river Eden. These are now grassed over, with some large trees growing on them. There is a small parking area about 100m from the entrance to the henge.
An ancient landmark 5,000 years old. Not much around the area but if you are passing, it's worth taking a look.
