Log Text: This Stone is something of an enigma - there is no good reason for it being where it is - it is however worth that 'little bit extra' to get close to - the markings are quite extraordinary - was there any human influence on its placement?

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?!!!

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.

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

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 -
