Log Text: This could be a wonderful site to visit if someone showed some care and do some maintenance otherwise one day it will disappear into a veritable jungle - the visible stones are really impressive
Holy Well (Biddestone)
Date Added: 8th Sep 2012
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Aug 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Holy Well (Biddestone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. The Starwell is quite a large spring that flows from a slope and into a small stream. If you are lucky you may find one of the tiny star shaped fossils (crinoids) which give the spring one of it’s names. These fossils are freed from the underlying rock by the water, carried to the surface and deposited in the silty bed of the spring. We spent some time sifting about in the icy water (closely watched by a herd of curious cows) but found only a few modern coins, no doubt left by previous visi...

Log Text: Getting a bit threadbare - too many visitors - be patient you will find a star stone but then don't be greedy - farmer's permission should be sought - it is on the north side of the fast flowing and quite deep brook and just under the 'bend' in the power lines

Backwell Cave submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 5th Aug 2012. The charming and quite eerie Cave

Log Text: Be careful how you approach this; new paths created by the Backwell Environmental Trust can deceive - they distract from the old foothpath - cannot imagine why they left the cave off their notice board and why they did not clear modern detritus -

Log Text: Hemmed in from the West and North you have to walk beyond this to the South up Tap's Combe and then climb the scarp - worth it all the same

Date Added: 26th Jul 2012

Cadbury Hill submitted by Creative Commons on 20th Jul 2012. This Ancient fort, directly under the flight path from Bristol International Airport, is on top of Cadbury Hill and must have been an easily defendable position.
Whilst wooded all around the top is kept clear by occasional grazing. Owned by Yatton Parish Council it provides open access and excellent walks for the public.

Tickenham Court Barrow submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 20th Jul 2012. Looking north over the Bowl Barrow - the M5 is just beyond and below the barred gate - the trees are on the North (opposite) side of the motorway - the Barrow definitely needs a 'haircut' - bowl and scissors ready?!!!
