Everytime I visit with Megg, its tipping it down, even during the Spring and Summer time. I love her all the same though Long Megg and her daughters. The stones probably date from about 1500 BC, and it was likely to have been used as a meeting place or for some form of religious ritual. Long Meg is made of local red sandstone, whereas the daughters are boulders of rhyolite, a form of granite. Local legend claims that Long Meg was a witch who with her daughters, was turned to stone for profaning the Sabbath, as they danced wildly on the moor. The circle is supposedly endowed with magic, so that it is impossible to count the amount of stones in the circle.

I love to smoke hash as I stroll amongst the stones, I have the time. An excellent place to experience at night. The cows can be vicious, so bring dogs.
Worth a visit, bring a picnic.. Lovely views, calm and tranquil place.. You can park on site practically.. Just watch for the cows sauntering down the lane to the castle grid and blocking the road, you can usher them back up the road using the old fashioned herding techniques.. Lol namely making yourself large and waning a hat of stick about..
Beautiful, crisp, sunny day, you could see for miles, close up views of the Pennines and distant views of the Lake District fells.
Hidden away in the Lakes, these monolithic stones have a story attached to them if you care to look for it. Not much parking. Raspberry picking up the road. Great place for a v social distanced family outing.
