Comment on druids temple by cannibalmoth
it is a beautiful place, i did not get much chance to explore but i am planning on going again this year so will do it properly this time.
i was lead to beleave it was built as art work but built for use seems to make more sense, espeially with the growing popularity of pagan beliefs around the time as you said.
I went up their with a few friends whose idea of a holiday is more pub based... i did manage to get them on a short walk but next time i go im going with some like minded people and im planning on taking in the whole area.
a nice place to sit relax, medatate and just enjoy nature.
I would advise getting permission from the landowner if you want to camp...he is Marquis something or other, so not someone to upset 
if i could do that it would be good, i always prefer to camp in a nice spot.... last time i was their i stayed at the black swan? not a big fan of camp sites, its not camping to me... i usually just pitch my tent where ever i please, wrong i know... dont want to annoy a Marquis so best get permission... or just stay at the pub in town, the black hoarse, very nice people in their
hehehe I know what you mean about camp sites...... health and safety gone mad these days, I don't know any site that will allow a fire that is not a BBQ, it is ridiculous...how are you supposed to teach your kids how to toast marshmallows, or be safe around fire!!! the mind boggles at the stupidity of it all.... oops /rant
lol 
dont worry, i rant about the same things all the time.
just been trying to arrange camping at the lake district for the summer and the amount of rules.... takes all the fun out of it, gunna have to go travel lodge instead at this rate

I'll ask around.....see if I know anyone close enough to be convenient for camping 
Is it just to visit Castlerigg or do you have other plans?

If you want to camp in the UK, the only way to go is a yurt a proper floor.... bags of space... lovely and warm....and if you can't run to a yurt, get an Arctic weather tent!
