Clifton Stones

]]>A beautiful pair of stones, near to the village of Clifton. Access is quite easy, the path from the farm has been improved. A circular walk is possible from Clifton, taking the footpath via Clifton Hall, where you can visit a well preserved Peel Tower. The tower has been restored but apprears to have kept many of its original timbers. Very impressive!

St Michael's Church (Kirkby Thore)

Anne T — Sun, 24 May 2026 10:58:17 GMT

]]>With its early origins, we hunted around for any signs of a preaching cross, and whilst there were odd rectangular, worked sandstone blocks around the churchyard, I (Anne T) spotted this limestone Anglo Saxon cross base. A very pleasant location, and interesting to look around. More photos from the church, including Roman pottery, on our page

]]>11th century Church with pre-Conquest tower in Cumbria. Whilst extensively restored in the 19th century, the original Anglo Saxon tower and doorway into the church, the 12th century pillar capitals, 13th century door surround and lancet windows and other features can be clearly identified.

Linewath Round Cairn

]]>This cairn is part of the same Bronze Age landscape as the Weasel Hills and Rospow Hills cairnfields and the High Wath Ford cairns to the north - several also visited by Anne T - details and photos of these from the Nearby Sites list on our page. This one sits on the same lower slopes of Carrock Fell and would have been part of the same community's territory.
