Castlerigg Stone Circle or the Keswick Carles near Keswick is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria. Each year, thousands of people visit it to look, photograph, draw and wonder why and when and by whom it was built. The stone circle is on the level top of a low hill with views across to Skiddaw, Blencathra and Lonscale Fell.
