We started our walk at Eamont Bridge  and arrived at Mayburgh Henge after a few hundred yards. It is a large Neolithic circular bank built of stones taken from the river Eamont and is up to 6,5 metres high in places. From the embankment you can see a single standing stone close to the centre. Sketches from the 18th century show the stone was one of a group of four.  Further along the river is Brougham Castle. It stands near the site of a Roman fort.

A bit further on our circular walk we came to Brougham Hall. It became famous in Victorian times when it was home to the Lord Chancellor and was known as the "Windsor of the north". There are craft workshops and a nice cafe inside where we had a good rest. The door knocker of Brougham Hall is a replica of the 12th century original.
