Re: Interesting places on Google Maps etc

There's a large and visible stone circle literally right next to the M6 near Shap in Cumbria!

I'll have been past this several times over the years but have only just seen it on Google Maps.

It doesn't look quite so impressive from the motorway itself.

Ooh. I'll make a note of that. On the eastern side, of the northernmost of the two separated-carriageway bits, at kilometre B446.5 .

I wonder how many people over the years have (illegally) pulled up on the hard shoulder to take a photo of the stone circle. What a Face

I wonder how many people have even noticed it?

It is like what you get if you order Stonehenge from Wish.com.

I think I've seen it, but I just thought it was some rocks, not a stone circle per se.

I occasionally see people doing that to take photos of the Welcome to Scotland sign at Gretna. Quite brazenly too, they don't even put the bonnet up to pretend they've broken dowm.
