    Correct, and once again I am impressed with the travel experience / Google skills of some of this thread’s participants.

    Now someone may be able to work out the activity that used to take place here. It does NOT involve livestock

    No again. Think the nearest quarry is Elterwater. A pleasant 45 minute walk away

    I presume we can rule out the Loughrigg Fell Race as that's still a current event (assuming it is even the correct location).

    Loughrigg Fell is the location. It is not a current event.

    As an aside I noticed that next Sunday is the Fred Whitton Challenge. The people that complete that are amazing.

    According to the internet it was run on the 10th April this year. I presume it'll be run again next year too unless they've cancelled it? That's what I meant by 'current'.

    Once I'd stopped looking at spires in Copenhagen it was possible to get there quite quickly. Perhaps I should have taken your hint.

    Your clues were good enough for my lowly Google-fu, thank you
    Tantallon castle and the Guegan.

    Certainement Tantallon Castle and the harbour is at nearby Seacliff beach, though I admit that I'm unfamiliar with the term "Guegan": my own Google-fu only comes up with a French crooner?

    Bloody autocorrect! Ghegan!
    At the western end of the beach is an outcrop of red sandstone called the Ghegan, which means ‘churchman’s haven’ (an interesting name in itself); and if you clamber up there at low tide, you can look down into the UK’s smallest harbour.

    In 1890, the local landowner, Andrew Laidlay, used a steam engine and compressed air to slice a rectangular bite out of this lump of rock. Even today, this would be a remarkable achievement. The harbour is only 40 feet long, and the entrance is barely 10 feet across, with a sharp corner to navigate as you come in. You certainly couldn’t get a yacht in here!
