Lovely grounds open to visitors for things to do on a full day out, set in a stunning location between Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite Lake. Visitors of all ages welcome to enjoy, lakeside scenery, and peaceful gardens. The Poetry Walk links the literary connections to Mirehouse in the beautiful terraced gardens. The tranquil Bee Garden in home to plants and flowers particularly selected to entice bees and butterflies and provides plenty of space for quiet reflection.
Reviewed By cranhamrebecca - Nottingham, United Kingdom
Currently only the grounds are open to walk around. Tickets can be purchased over the road at Dodd Wood tea room (£4 per adult and you get a map with a detailed walk route and information). It’s a fairly flat loop down the drive, around the gardens, house and grounds down to the lake and back. Not too long so very inclusive for families. Fairly well maintained. The house itself isn’t much to look at from the outside but the grounds are still very much worth a visit if you would like a non-strenuous walk.
8. Castlerigg Stone Circle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,624 reviews
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.
Reviewed By 90josephr - Cumbria, United Kingdom
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.
