I have visited· I would like to visit

Anne T visited on 15th Jul 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Glencorse Cup and Ring Marked Stone: Just outside the tall, imposing (and locked) Parish Church, which had an amazing old tree in the field opposite, and a long layby; this village is obviously popular with walkers, as there were lots of cars parked around here, and footpaths leading through the woods, away from the church. This poor cup and ring stone is contained behind railings, so it looked as if the stone had been caged. The lichen and moss growing on it made it a little difficult to pick out the cups (we certainly couldn’t count 22), and we saw a couple of cup and ring motifs. Even trying to view the stone from different angles, to try and highlight the cups, didn’t make it any easier. A brush and a bottle of water would have come in useful. I was much amused by the ‘reserved’ signs next to the stone, as if the minister and church warden might have had cars with specially shaped bonnets to fit neatly around the ‘railing cage’. We did try the church door, just in case, but like many of these churches, locked and bolted. This church had the most amazing number of floodlights around it, so it must have been well lit in the dark.
