Huge stone circle just outside Penrith and right next to the M6, which rather spoils the peace and quiet. This one is really unusual; although there is one large stone in the centre (a further two were removed some time in the 18th or 19th century) the outer circle is made from thousands of tons of cobbles that were brought from the nearby river Eden. These are now grassed over, with some large trees growing on them. There is a small parking area about 100m from the entrance to the henge.

Mayburgh Henge, Cumbria Circa 2,000 to 3,000 BC The Henge is constructed from peddles found in the nearby river. This site would have been massive in its day as it formed part of a complex of three henges covering 0.6 hectares. This site certainly was significant in it's time. Kin Arthur's Round Table Estimated 2,000 BC Neolithic earth Henge. Local legend is that this was King Arthur's jousting site

If you like a good henge, this one's ok. Part of a collection (with Arthur's Table about 800 metres away and another which is no longer visible as someone built a motorway on it, tsk), but mostly just the earthworks remain but there is still one standing stone.

Well worth stopping at if you are in the area. Impressive bank made 4-5 thousand years ago out of cobble stones. A single large (>2m) standing stone in centre. We visited Brougham Castle as well, which is a very short drive away.

Not a lot to see, just a single stone in a depressed grass circle. Shame the site of the other stones isn't marked out. A few other English Heritage sites nearby so worth combining if you are in the area

Wonderful historic site. Can you imagine that people about 5000 years ago brought stones from the river up here to create a community meeting place! Impressive!
