Mayburgh Henge

Mayburgh is a large and impressive Neolithic henge. Its banks stand up to three metres high, constructed of pebbles collected from the nearby river. Near the centre is a single standing stone. Old drawings suggest that it was one of a group here, with two more pairs standing at either entrance, but they have since been removed. Open any reasonable time during daylight hours. There is car parking available in Eamont Bridge, a short walk from the henge. Dogs on leads are welcome unless livestock is present. Brougham Castle has a small café, gift shop and toilet facilities.
