A castle and a stone circle


A drive north up the coast took us to Muncaster Castle...


...which had the usual sumptuous rooms...


...and a brass band playing outside.


The church was nice and had some good stained glass.


Lunch at another Brown Cow pub, with a stuffed fox in the window. (Guess a cow wouldn't fit!)
Then we saw a real fox on our walk to the standing stones.



First a drive across the moors...



then a walk to Swinside Stone Circle - see below for details:

Then a mile walk back to the cars.
