Discover Long Meg and daughters: A walk in the Eden Valley and North Pennines
We went on a magnificent walk in the Eden Valley to discover Long Meg and daughters. The walk has something for everyone, ancient monuments, outstanding views, caves, birds, butterflies, and a terrific teashop. The walk is 5.6 miles and offers one of finest stretches of riverside sections in the region. It’s a terrific family walk, particularly for teenagers.

The best part of the walk for us is the ancient monument of Long Meg and her daughters, a Bronze Age stone circle that is cloaked in mystery and legend. The stone circle is considered to be one of the finest ancient monument in the North of England.![Discover Long Meg and daughters | The Tranquil Otter Discover Long Meg and daughters | The Tranquil Otter](https://www.thetranquilotter.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Long_Meg_Little_Salkeld_Birds-Eye.jpg)

Lacy’s Caves
Caves carved out of sandstone on the bank of the River Eden by Coll. Lacy, very dramatic with an eerie feel. Leah had a great time exploring the caves.![Discover Long Meg and daughters | The Tranquil Otter Discover Long Meg and daughters | The Tranquil Otter](https://www.thetranquilotter.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/August-16-109-e1473099934850.jpg)
