Great Urswick

The ancient village Church of St Mary and St Michael is noted for its unusual and lively woodcarvings that were created by the Chipping Campden Guild of Carvers. As well as the figure of a pilgrim to the left of the chancel arch, there are some smaller carvings in the choir stall of winged children playing musical instruments. Also worthy of a second look is the 9th-century wooden cross, which bears a runic inscription.

Lying between Great Urswick and Bardsea, and overlooking Morecambe Bay, is Birkrigg Common, a lovely area of open land. Here, on the east side of the common, is the Druid's Circle, with two concentric circles made up of 31 stones up to three feet high.
