	Guidestones to the Great Langdale Axe Factories Gabriel M. Blamires £10.99 These days we are all accustomed to see sign 'posts' to point us on our way, as we travel about the countryside. In many parts of the Lake District landscape, certain large stones - 'megaliths' - occur, with a distinctive characteristic: they are shaped so as to point in significant directions.
