Stone Circle at Castlerigg in the Lake District

Castlerigg Stone Circle in the Lake District

Thanks to Katherine Davis for sharing this beautiful picture of the Castlerigg Stone Circle.

England's Lake District is renowned for its beautiful scenery, as this photo by Katherine Davis has captured so well.

The stone circles are ancient and as mysterious as Stonehenge, remnants of a long-ago time.

Cumbria is the county in which the Lake District, including this stone circle and others, is located. It's the most north-east corner of England. The nearest town of any size is Keswick.

The Cumbrian tourist office, VisitCumbria.com says this stone circle dates from about 3000 B.C. and is probably one of Britain's oldest.

A really lovely picture of a wonderful looking part of olde England. My mother was English and never really settled in Australia. I think I now know why, she loved the English scenery and could see no beauty in the Australian bush.

I think she had a point.
