St Clether Crosses
St Clether Crosses submitted by hamish : This is at SX202841. Just up the road from Basil Manor it is on the rightside of the road high on the hedge. To get this view you have to go into the field through long grass and nettles. You also need a stout stick to beat down the vegetation hiding the Cross. Quite nice though.
