Geocache Description:

Series around the wonderful Lancelot Clark Storth (LCS) Nature Reserve, looked after by Cumbria Wildlife Trust. Please read the info, follow the route, be gentle searching, and respect this great location. Also enjoy the views, rocks and nature!

In summer you will hear birds such as willow warbler and skylark, along with the resident birds such as nuthatch, greater spotted woodpecker and woodcock. From April there is a succession of butterflies. First to appear are the small tortoiseshell and brimstone butterflies and the green hairstreak. From May onwards there are fritillaries along with common blue, peacock and grayling. Badgers, foxes and roe deer are frequently seen on the reserve.

King Arthur married Guinevere, the daughter of King Leodegrance and as a wedding gift he gave King Arthur a large round table made of stone and large enough to sit all of his knights at. The fact that the table was round meant that all sat together equally in council and there was no favoured position. At the end of the King Arthur's reign his evil son Mordred managed to capture Camelot and destroy the table before fighting a battle of mutual extinction with Arthur spelling the end of the Arthurian era. This circle of broken rocks is all that remains of King Arthur's round table.

Directions: head to the white post, a point on the downloadable audio trail (see CWT website), bare left up the grassy track to the top and this cache, shortly before you reach the obvious ladder stile.  The views are great!
