St. Brannoc's Holy Well (Braunton) submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Mar 2005. St.Brannoc's Holy Well in Braunton, north Devon, is formed by a spring that runs into an almost heart-shaped pool. Nearby is a modern chapel built on the site of a medieval chapel, and probably an even older one preceded that.

Hurston Ridge
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2005
Hurston Ridge submitted by AngieLake on 14th Aug 2005. This is the lower end of the long Hurston Ridge avenue, showing how the stones turn towards another angle (19 degs) as they approach the blocking stone. Standing back beside the straight side of the avenue, looking up its length, I measured the orientation of the avenue to be 198 degs, yet there seemed to be a definite turn in this end of it. If you stand behind the stone at far left and look towards the blocking stone, you will see it aligns with Kes Tor rock at 375 degs.

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 5th Nov 2005
Grimspound submitted by AngieLake on 5th Nov 2005. A confused time-traveller fumbles out through the huge portalled gateway of Grimspound settlement on Dartmoor. Will he be swallowed by the mist before he reaches his machine!?? (Will Angie get rapped on the knuckles for posting another gateway picture??) This inside-outside view (the lower pic is looking uphill towards Hameldown Tor - 529m at SE - from inside the protecting walls), gives an idea of the scale of it. Behind our intrepid hero (a 6ft human being from the 21st century, by the na...

Leech Wells
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2006
Leech Wells submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2006. Difficult to photograph from any distance because of the slope of the lane, and the depth of the well from the road. (I'm standing opposite, on the bend of the lane as it goes downhill.) This shows the width and height of the entrance, and the canopy of trees. A manhole cover is in centre foreground. A morning photograph would cast more light into the well itself, but I was here on afternoon of 3 June 06.

Blackaton Down north (Hamel Down) submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Apr 2007. The first Bowl Barrow approached from the south along Hamel Down's ridge. Also known (Butler) as Blackaton Down north cairn. Here it looks quite imposing, but is nowhere near as large as the higher Broad Barrow. The scattered sheep's bones in the foreground gave the scene a rather macabre ambience!
