The Golden Well (Dorstone) submitted by AJHL on 18th Feb 2023. The Golden Well. The bullrushes grow out of the pool which is overgrown and difficult to see. But you will know it when you suddenly drop in to it like I did! Thankfully no giant carp in sight.

Log Text: The wood has been cut down resulting in new undergrowth over marshy ground. Quite difficult to find but it’s still there

Cleopatra's Needle (London) submitted by Thorgrim on 26th Mar 2006. The oldest man-made object in London can be seen on the Embankment. Its height makes our homegrown standing stones look quite stunted. See main site page for more information
