Short sharp upward walk can be avoided by parking on the Skiddaw route. However, the views over the north Lakes is something to behold.

Dating from about 3000 BC, this is one of the first stone circles built in Britain, which is perched atop a high moor with spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.
Castlerigg Stone Circle on the outskirts of Keswick is a magical place. It is one of the oldest remaining stone circles in the British Isles, older than Stonehenge, and easily accessible either on foot, by bicycle or in a vehicle. The site is owned by the National Trust with free access to all. Standing in the middle of the Neolithic stone circle the stunning views of the surrounding fells (mountains) and valleys can seem subtly different as the clouds above pass overhead. When the cloud cover is above the fells the higher Lakeland peaks that can be seen from this dramatic amphitheatre include Helvellyn, Blencathra and Skiddaw. There are ample and free parking spaces on the adjacent road. Go through the kissing gates and there are recently restored information boards explaining the history and heritage of the stone circle. Follow in the footsteps of countless generations of scholars, writers, poets, artists and photographers and soak in the wonders of this enchanting location.

A favorite walk. Bus to Rosthwaite then up and over to Watendlath then down the super pretty hanging valley descending either to Borrowdale hotel or on to surprise view and Ashness bridge. You can just drive up the the tarn which is very pretty but the road is very narrow and the walk is so much better.
