Carlisle Castle

Castle Rigg Stone Circle

You might well recognise the sites in the photos. They're two of the best known sites in the county: the imposing castle of Carlisle, the only city in Cumbria; and Castle Rigg prehistoric stone circle, on the hills above Keswick.

But how good would you be at identifying other important heritage sites in the county?

Have a go at our picture quiz; name 'what' and 'where' for each photo - and decide which county each one was in (C, W, LoS or Sed) before CUMBRIA was formed, in 1974.

Then look at the ANSWERS by clicking on the Answer button under each photo. You can also get a larger version of the picture to open just by clicking on the small picture.

And if you would like to know more about Cumbria's past, don't just read our website: JOIN THE SOCIETY! click on the MEMBERSHIP menu button to the left. Then you'll have a chance to get to grips with the events that shaped our county, and to track down the sites which are the evidence for Cumbria's past.

Click on any picture for a larger version. Due to an issue with the site which is being worked on the larger picture may not open. This will hopefully be resolved shortly. Thank you for your patience.
