If you don’t have your own car, I’d really recommend renting one — it gives you the flexibility to stop at each waterfall and explore at your own pace.

I usually use DiscoverCars to compare prices and find the best deals across different rental companies.

👉 It’s really easy to use:

Compare multiple providers in one place
Cheaper than booking direct
Free cancellation on most options
Their 3rd party insurance is a lot cheaper
They have a great customer service for claims (though I hope you won’t have to use it!

📍Castlerigg Stone Circle

A very atmospheric stone circle located near the town of Keswick.

🅿️ Parking: You can park your car on the side of the road (there is a small parking area), cross the road, walk through the gate of the field and you will see the standing stones. There are only a few spots though which can make it tricky. Alternatively, you can walk from Keswick which takes about 30 minutes.

📜 It was raised in about 3000 BC, making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain. There are some signs that explain the history of the site.
