Lazonbyの天然記念物・トップ10

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.

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.

3rd largest stone circle in England, dates back to the Bronze Age or 5000 years ago!

Found in between Little Salkeld and Glassonbuy village, Long Meg and her Daughters is the second biggest stone circle in the UK. With a diameter of around 106 meters, the circle is made up of 69 stones baring three mysterious symbols. Standing at almost 4 meters (12 feet), the tallest stone is known as Tall Meg. The stones are thought to date back to 1500 BC and the Bronze Age era. They were probably once the meeting place for a religious ritual. When writing about the stone circle, famous poet William Wordsworth said 'next to Stonehenge, it is beyond dispute the most notable relic that this or probably any other country contains.'

Vista is one of ten stone artwork pieces commissioned to celebrate the millennium. They are located along the length of the Eden from its source near Mallerstang to its union with the Solway at Rockcliffe. Vista shows carvings of boots, clothing and a backpack symbolic of a scene where someone has stripped off for a dip in the Eden. Easily found on the forest path through Coombes Wood.

The bay can only be reached when river levels are very low unless you abseil. A riverside path from the downstream weir or a scramble down followed by a tentative rock hug on a slippery slab will get you to the bay. There are 5 faces, a fish and a scripture awaiting. Well worth the effort.
