Located just a mile or so outside Keswick, with parking available nearby, this is free to access. It has a dramatic setting in the backdrop of mountains, and is said to be older than Stonehenge. We only had some sheep grazing around for company when we visited.

Not far from Keswick , what a stunning site. 3000 year old stone circle with 360* panoramic views of the Keswick fells. Run by The National Trust but free to enter. We finished with a hot drink in the nearby Keswick Climbing Wall Cafe.

A very interesting stone circle, with national importance. Located on the edge of Keswick, with fantastic views over the surrounding fells. A great place for early morning photos. Free parking very close, and good information boards at the gates

Atmospheric as many other reviewers have said. The setting is pretty scenic, and I spent 15 minutes there taking pictures. I was interested to learn that the stone circle is older than Stonehenge. It's definitely a special place worth a visit in every season. I did a signed 4-mile walk from here across the fields to Tewet tarn, then to St John's in the Vale church, and back via the very muddy footpath from Low Nest farm past High Nest farm - the footpath takes you straight back to opposite the Climbing Wall next to the stone circle. There is a cafe there. You can find the route on OpenStreetmap or Streetmap apps. The walk (indicated in red dots on my attached map) takes around 2 hours, it's quite scenic at the tarn. The little church at St John's in the Vale is attractive too. And there are also great views of Skiddaw and/or Blencathra from near the stones. By the time I got back the weather had changed and I also found a circle holding hands within the circle. I heard American accents echoing in the Lakeland fells, a slightly strange experience.

Pleasant, accessible location for visiting 4,500 year old ring stones. The stones sit in an open meadow, with beautiful views in every direction (rolling hills and mountainsides). You can park a few hundred yards away (easy walk across the grass). We visited on a rainy morning in May and there were about 10 people there. The site isn't big and visiting the stones takes about 10-20 min (depending on how long you want to tarry). This is a worthy stop for seeing something a bit different than the typical historic sights.

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.

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.

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.

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.
