Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Keswick is a lovely little market town. We arrived on a Thursday and it was market day. The market is really good, lots of interesting stalls. We left with pies, cheese and crockery! There are more places to drink and eat than you will possibly need and so many eateries and shops are dog friendly, which is good because market day was like Crufts; everyone had brought their dog.
After our visit to the town we went on to Castlerigg stone circle which doesn't disappoint. It is in a very dramatic setting and one can see why this place was chosen as a sacred place. Would have only been improved by an orientation table as it is surrounded by hills and it would have been good to name them.

A very special place and so unexpected. You stand in the centre and have a 360 degree view of the fells - it’s a ring within a ring. Breathtaking.

Personally I found the site extremely atmospheric with an air of mystery. The surrounding backdrop of mountains is stunning whatever the weather. No-one seems to know what the circle was used for, but it's amazing to consider our ancestors 5000 years ago and the lives they must have led when the circle was built.

Stunning setting and beautiful stone circle.
We were disappointed to see visitors standing on the stones for photos and leaning bikes against the stones. There was no guidance to say that they shouldn’t but it seems a shame.

Magical experience!Visited this Stone circle first time, and it was my wish for many years.
Felt absolutely energised by it
Had bare foot walks, meditation, and connection to Mother Earth and Ancestors.
I didn't mind people, people didn't mind me.
Coming back for my birthday in August.
Astonishing place for me and my spiritual journey.

Standing stones in a lovely setting. Very busy, so difficult to get photos without people in them. There is one lone stone in the corner of the field which is a good photo opportunity.

It was a very rainy day when we visited but there were still great views and some sheep to take pictures of. Must be amazing on a sunny day. Free parking available at the side of the rod.

Of course Stonehenge is much better known and the stones are a bit higher but in fairness Castlerigg is in a much more beautiful setting. There are also less visitors and one can still walk in the middle of the stone circle unlike Stonehenge. Worth a visit for the views alone.

A really interesting group of stones with loads of history. Can be approached from a number of directions via signed foot paths or, by car, just look for the brown tourist signs and follow them up the hill. We parked at the bottom but you can park nearer but it’s a bit tight. The stones are on the right. Three big information boards explain about there heritage.

The question still remains ‘where did these stones come from and who put them there? Apparently the stone circle is 4,500 years old and is older than Stonehenge.
It took us 10 minutes to walk from the road and it was certainly worth the grassy trek. The stones are virtually in a meadow and surrounded by rolling hills and clouds - gorgeously atmospheric.

Hello, I want to take my kids (2yrs and 7yrs old) here. Would the trek from Keswick to the stones be too difficult for them please?
Many thanks.
Skrevet 20. februar 2020
I wouldn't try it with a 2 year old personally. It's a fairly long and steep road to the stones.
Skrevet 28. februar 2020
Is there a public bus I can take from Keswick to the circle? If so, which line number is it?
Skrevet 23. oktober 2019
There is a bus that goes down A591, then you could hike in from there...check out more info at Keswick tourist info
Skrevet 31. oktober 2019
How far is the car park to the stone circle and what is the walk like? Easy? Long? Up hill?
Skrevet 7. august 2019
We parked on the road alongside the field the stones are in. This is what people are doing. I’d say 200m/300m from the circle itself. You can see on google aerial maps.
Skrevet 7. august 2019
I'm organising a retreat to the lakes (yes - stone huggers!)
Can anyone reccomend a time that we'd likely have this site to ourselves for 20/30 mins?
Appreciate it gets quite busy, butt looking for the quieter times?
Thanks
Skrevet 15. februar 2019
I agree with the other reviewers best go out of season and either early or late when I was there, there was only one person and they left when we got there. I think the people who go to these sites appreciate the solitude and allow others to enjoy it as well.
Skrevet 10. april 2019
Do I have to book a tour or can I walk around this freely? Is there any fees ?
Skrevet 13. mars 2018
You can walk around it freely at any time. The circle is basically in a field to which there is open access

You are, are you not, aware there are several public notice boards, by the two entrance gates, of about 4ft x 2ft large, telling the public about the history and purpose of the stones, why they're on this plateau and what functions they likely served so many thousands of years ago - so your review is about as incorrect as could be.
Akin to saying Stonehenge are just some stones in a field.

In Keswick [England's Lake District] - it was really cool.
Skrevet 18. februar 2018
It would not be suitable for a wheelchair. There is a narrow walk through gate and then a lumpy bumpy walk to the stone circle.
Skrevet 13. oktober 2016
Visited today, was super nervous due to above comments. However it was very easy! Completely fine if you have an off-road chair or wheel: even my manual chair would have done it with a bit of trouble I think. There are two gates, and one of the gates is large enough even for my Trike, larger than a normal door width. The actual area itself is just a field so gets a bit muddy in winter but no more inaccessible than any other field. It slopes slightly uphill towards the stones. Had a great time!
Skrevet 21. desember 2022
The last time I visited the stone circle, the footpath was **very** muddy, what's it like now and is it suitable for a wheelchair now?
Skrevet 24. september 2016
There are two small gates, thereafter it's a field.
There is no "footpath".
Ergo, it's its been raining it may be soggy, if it's been dry.... you get the picture.
Perhaps you could raise mobility access to the Circle with the National Park Authority, it may not have occurred to them if no one has mentioned the small gates in aeons.
