| Notes: |
Castlerigg Stone Circle is a popular parking spot for those not only wanting to explore Castlerigg Stone Circle but for those who want to take in the excellent views over Blencathra from the ancient stones. Due to the popularity of Castlerigg finding a place to park during the height of Summer can be difficult therefore my advise is to arrive early. Castlerigg is the type of Lakeland hotspot which attracts thousands of visitors each year, not all of whom who visits stays more than one hour which can open up car spaces throughout the day. The lane is quite narrow but there is room for upto twenty cars at a time. Parking is free. |
