Gosforth Cross submitted by nicoladidsbury on 30th Aug 2006. Gosforth Norse Cross
Driving northwards towards Gosforth I saw a magnificent rainbow in the east, lighting up the fells with wonderful colour. I prayed, please last until I get to Gosforth!
I parked, jumped out of the car, ran across the graveyard (trying not to be disrespectful) and managed to get two shots of the fading rainbow.
60 seconds later I would have been too late!

Log Text: Escaping from the horrendous weather during a weekend in Wasdale, we took shelter in the Church and played with side lighting to perfect the pictures of the Hogbacks and the Fisher Stone. This is such a marvellous place, so full of ancient Viking carvings. It never fails to stir me, to make me think about the ancestors of Cumbria.
One stone is called the Warrior Stone, and shows two Viking armies on one side, and the serpents on the other. The ends are possibly bears, and the roof may depict shingles. the other hogback is the Saints Stone, this one has a image of Jesus on the cross at the ends, and some fantstic carvings on the sides. The style is very reminisent of the Cross at Adlington, Penrith and Dacre.

Castlerigg W submitted by nicoladidsbury on 11th Mar 2007. This is the outlier stone of Castlerigg stone circle... Or is it a remaining stone of Castlerigg West..
We found another standing stone in the stone wall nearby making me believe that this stone belongs to another circle

Clifton Stones submitted by nicoladidsbury on 31st Mar 2007. Clifton standing stones.
A beautiful pair of stones, near to the villiage 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, which has been resorted but apprears to have kept many of its original timbers. Very impressive! The walk continues over the motorway, and through a number of fields on a very good path. The route swings eastwards, the...

I spotted this stone close to my parents farm, and am wondering if it could be a standing stone. There are possibly two? more further down the field, and made me wonder if it was a stone row. Photo taken on full zoom.
