The Lake District in Cumbria is a walker's paradise with a rich archaeological heritage and we took advantage of both aspects during our stay. There are two excellent stone circles— one at Swinside near Broughton-in-Furness in the south and the other at Castelrigg just outside Keswick in the north. The Roman fort at Hard Knot is probably the best preserved in all of Britain and is undoubtedly the most dramatically situated.

As far as the walking went, we had a number of occasions to stretch our legs in and around Keswick at Derwent Water as well as at Buttermere.
