Start point: Cragg Hall (SD 181
874)
Swinside Stone Circle
Route Map
Weather: Sunny with the odd shower.
Today's short walk cannot be described as
a fell walk but it is interesting nevertheless. Swinside Stone Circle is
widely regarded as one of the finest in Europe, if not the world. It is
not as well known as Castlerigg, for instance, as it is well off the
beaten track, but at 28.5 metres in diameter with 55 stones, it
certainly makes an impressive sight and an easy Sunday afternoon walk.

Some say the circle mirrors Knott Hill, here shown
