Elaborate stone artworks have appeared in parts of the Lake District created by a mysterious unknown artist.
One circular structure, which frames the Borrowdale Valley, is believed to have been made from local slate and created by a “very talented [and] patient individual”.
The artist has been compared to Banksy by the local village hall because it is unclear who is behind the structures. A number of hikers have shared images online after spotting them while out walking.
Carl Halliday, who runs a mountaineering business in the area, first spotted the circular formation at the beginning of May.

Who is the Borrowdale Banksy?
Speculation is afoot as residents and visitors wonder who is the ‘Borrowdale Banksy’?
Climber and photographer Carl Halliday stumbled upon a stone sculpture during a rock climb in Borrowdale a couple of weeks ago. He posted the picture online which led to some attributing the work to the ‘Borrowdale Banksy’.
Situated overlooking the Borrowdale Valley, Carl is keen to keep the exact location under wraps as the site is only accessible for experienced climbers.
“It felt a privilege to see it and photo it,” he said.
“I don’t know who the talented artist is. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like this on the fells,” he added.
