Castlerigg Stone Circle
(Preview)
This is sort of a test posting, but may be of interest. Castlerigg is in Cumbria, near the town of Keswick. It's about 4000 years old and is built on a low hill surrounded by higher ones and is a truly magical place. I've been there twice, in 1993 and 2005 and I think will always go there when I'm in the UK....
