The Wrekin
Date Added: 16th Aug 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4
The Wrekin submitted by TimPrevett on 2nd Jan 2005. Lookin to the North East, between the outer and inner ramparts of The Wrekin.
The path enters the inturned ramparts to the central area; the trig point and toposcope sit upon a Bronze Age Cairn, which is hardly in evidence.
Another, more slight rampart is visible to the left of the picture, before the hill becomes more rounded.

Bawd Stone submitted by vicky on 2nd Sep 2001. The Bawdstone, possible dolmen, near Hen Cloud, The Roaches, Staffordshire GR: SJ009620
This so called ‘dolmen’ was described by antiquarian J.D. Sainter in his book ‘Scientific Rambles Round Macclesfield’ in 1878:
"At a short distance south of Rock Hall, there may be observed on the opposite side of Hen Cloud a block of gritstone, which upon approaching it, is found to be rested or balanced, in the first place, upon a short edge of rock and then upon two upright and pointed pilla...

The Winking Man submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Nov 2006. The Winking Man - a natural convincing anthropomorphic rock formation on Ramshaw Rocks at SK 02021 62362. This is in North Staffordshire on the west side of the Leek - Buxton Road. The route immediately below the rock outcrops is on a Roman Road, and remains one of the most accident prone deadly A roads in the country. Parking is to west of the Rocks (good layby at SK 01746 62012), then a fairly easy walk up to near the summit, and the Winking Man is on the east side. Tripping hazards and drops...

Gawton's Well
Date Added: 16th Aug 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 9th Jun 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4
Gawton's Well submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Nov 2008. Got around to visiting here yesterday, and it's brilliant. It's only 16 miles east for me, so returning won't be too much of an issue. Very atmospheric woodland and castle like folly neaby too. I wouldn't be surprised if therein lies a connection with the well.
The spring lies within a large circular wall, in varying states of collapse, and within that is an elipse of yew trees - reminiscent of the ring of trees in "Nightmare Before Christmas". If this were Wales I'd start thinking this was th...

Hurst Low
Date Added: 12th Aug 2014
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Couldn't find on 7th Apr 2013
Hurst Low submitted by twentytrees on 9th Sep 2006. Marked as Tumuli on the map but this may refer to nearby Grindon Moor barrow. There appears to be numerous mounds in a line (lined up on nearby Butterton church spire?) but they are in a much denunded state, so difficult to be sure. Not scheduled.

Log Text: Saw a huge misshapen mound in the field containing Hurst Low but that looked more like a spoil heap or something. Large agricultural building has been erected nearby in same field too. Whole area very messy with vehicles parked in the field and bits of rusty agricultural equipment lain about. Failed to I.D. the barrow.

Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
St Mary and All Saints (Checkley) submitted by TimPrevett on 8th May 2007. The three 9th Century Anglo-Scandinavian cross shafts in Checkley Churchyard. One would be fine! A superb group, each around 5 feet tall. The church and churchyard are fascinating. If not open a key is available very nearby - mail me for details. An unusual Saxon font is at the rear of the church, as well as a good guidebook for £2 as of 08/05/07. The churchyard is very nearly completely circled by yew trees, most of them relatively juvenile, but a couple are noticeably larger in girth. On the ...
