If you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate spring, why not plan a trip to the Lake District to visit two prehistoric monuments that are sure to leave you feeling enlightened and amused? Castleriggs and Long Mag and Her Daughters are two captivating landmarks that offer a unique perspective on the rhythms of the changing seasons, as well as some awesome photo ops.
Castlerigg may be a circle of 38 boulders, but each one has its own unique personality. Some are taller than others, while some have quirky shapes that make them stand out from the rest. The best part? You can make up your own names for them! How about “Rocky McRockface” or “Boulder the Brave”? The possibilities are endless.
And don’t forget about Long Meg and Her Daughters, whose names alone are sure to make you giggle. This group of standing stones is said to be one of the largest in Europe, and its astronomical alignments are said to mark the passage of the seasons. But let’s be real – the real reason you want to visit is to take a selfie with Long Meg and post it on Instagram with the caption “Hanging out with my homegirls ššÆāāļø #LongMegAndHerDaughters #SquadGoals”
So why wait? Pack your bags, grab your sunnies and head over to the Lake District for some springtime fun. Who knows? You might even make some new friends (or at least some new rock buddies).
