The Cockpit is a 3,500–5,000-year-old Bronze Age stone circle (27m diameter) located on Moor Divock in the Lake District National Park, overlooking Ullswater. It features roughly 70–75, mainly recumbent, stones set into a circular embankment, likely serving as a prehistoric gathering place. It is accessible via walking trails from Askham or Pooley Bridge.

Shame the cairn was nearly gone

The River Eden path passes opposite Force Mill and the old weir. The mill and mill buildings are now pretty holiday cottages. Upstream, a short distance, is the railway viaduct.

Can be boggy.but good views

The Cockpit Stone Circle is a large Bronze Age structure standing on an ancient crossroads. It's hard to date as it shows features expected in late and early Bronze Age circles but it's between 3,500 and 5,000 years old. It's wondered if this was used as a meeting place for the scattered local population, it may have had religious significance.

18th-century caves commissioned by Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Lacy were once used for entertaining guests. They're now a fantastic stop and interesting point of interest along the River Eden.

The second largest stone circle in England, Long Meg and Her Daughters is simply beautiful. Thought to be Neolithic in age, and with a free car park nearby, it's worth a visit.

This is a cracking Wainwright and the hike up is accessible from the small car park at the base. Nice scenery on the way up and lovely commanding views from the top.
