I alighted the 08.26 Skipton to Carlisle train at Carlisle, a brilliant amble around Carlisle BM hunting along the way.

Fantastic PA bolt. 'Stanwix' means " 'stone wall(s)'. Stanwix is built on the site of a Roman fort known as Uxelodunum or Petriana. The former village of Stanwix was centred on its church of St Michael's at the top of a steep bank rising from the river Eden, close to the junction of the main road north (now the A7) with the road to the east (now the B6264). In the mid nineteenth century the district grew with many large houses built for Carlisle's expanding middle classes.

Finished Hadrian's Wall in the morning, now an afternoon in Carlisle trig and benchmark hunting - what more to wish for! Can be seen from the path, but only a glimpse. Dedicated to St Michael, built 1841. 1GL bolt with cut benchmark is located on NE face of SW tower buttress.
