Take the B5087 south
from Ulverston towards Bardsea. After about 3 miles the road goes near the
coast. When some trees come into view on the right take a right turn up a
lane that leads to Birkrigg Common. Drive uphill for about ¼ mile and
watch for a grassy track through the bracken on the right where the grass
verge widens and there is room to park. The circle is found about 150
metres to the NE along the grass track.
Druid's Temple towards Morecombe Bay
Druid's Temple showing outer ring This is a small double
concentric ring of stones set in an attractive location overlooking the
sands and Morecombe Bay in the distance. The stones are almost white
limestone. The outer ring is of about 20 small and low stones almost
hidden in places by the bracken and is about 85 feet across with the inner
ring at about 27 feet with taller stones. The tallest is about 4 feet
high. This taller stone stands in the southwest of the circle in line with
the midwinter sunset, the photos show this stone in a late December
sunset.
