Duddon iron furnace (disused) A charcoal burning blast furnace dating from 1736. Isaac Wilkinson's cylinder bellows powered by water were first applied here. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument but is temporarily closed to the public while structural issues are considered. There is a good view from the bridleway that goes past the site.

Swinside Stone Circle Also known as Sunkenkirk Stone Circle, Swinside Stone Circle is one of the 'Big 3' stone circles in Cumbria, the other two being <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5383899">NY2923 : Castlerigg Stone Circle</a> and <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5511934">NY5737 : Long Meg and Her Daughters</a>. This little-visited stone circle is one of the finest in Britain and has 55 stones, though there were probably originally 60 stones. Dating from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, the stones are of porphyritic slates and form a circle of diameter 28 metres.
