Castlerigg Vortex
-
Vortex Type: Energy, Ancient
I have traveled to several stone circles in England, Castle Rigg in Cumbria is magestic and I felt to be a very healing and charged place. It sits in the Shadow of Blen Cathra and Skiddaw a mountain where ghost armies have reportedly been sited.

I have also been to Long Meg and her Sisters, also in Cumbria A curious place, also felt very charged! But I am not certain the energy there was as nice as Castle Rigg. I had a mystical experience at Long meg while walking the site line from the rear to the portal before Meg, I paused at one point, only to realize that the exact spot I paused at was the center of the circle. A storm blew up right While I was there, rather suddenly. - anonymous
The stone circle at Castlerigg (alt. Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) is situated near Keswick in Cumbria, North West England. One of around 1,300 stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany, it was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BC, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages.
Various archaeologists have commented positively on the beauty and romance of the Castlerigg ring and its natural environment. In his study of the stone circles of Cumbria, archaeologist John Waterhouse commented that the site was "one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain."
Every year, thousands of tourists travel to the site, making it the most visited stone circle in Cumbria. This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.

Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
