Looking towards Honister Pass

There's a slate mine at the top of the pass and it makes for dramatic scenery

Castle Rigg Stone circle. Said to be older than Stonehenge, but this site is free and you can walk amongst the stones ...

5 star rating: Highly Recommended June 2013

The hotel was very good. The tour was also very good. The tour guide, Mike, knew all about the area and was very interesting. I will recommend Viator to friends and I'm sure I will again book tours with Viator.
