Rollright Stones

Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2024. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Rollright Stones submitted by Energyman on 21st Dec 2020. This was the closest the weather forecast would allow me to get to this year's solstice sunrise, 20/12/20 8:30am. Luckily very little cloud. The shot is from the altar as I call it, through the entrance at the King's Men, Rollrights.
This alignment was calculated by Jack Morris Eyton, though he never got the chance to confirm it.

Oldox Camp submitted by Bladup on 22nd Apr 2013. There are 2 humps here that seem like the natural entrance to Oxton camp, the one in the picture is the slightly bigger one [called Robin Hood's Pot] and the start of the other is going out the photo on the left, I think they're natural but one has a little barrow on it.

St Catherine's Hill (Hampshire) submitted by JimChampion on 15th May 2005. May 2005. Looking NE at the hillfort from across the Itchen valley. A familiar aspect to those who travel north up the M3 from Southampton (just before the controversial Twyford Down cutting). Only one of the cows in the foreground has noticed me standing precariously on a gatepost to take this picture.

Black Hill Cairns
Date Added: 3rd Dec 2024
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Oct 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 3
Black Hill Cairns submitted by AngieLake on 28th Jul 2010. A lovely view of Cairn 4 with the moors in the background, looking approx west here.
I kept thinking of Bruce Chatwin's 'On the Black Hill' while exploring here. It was a brilliant book, but set on the Welsh borders, not Dartmoor. He'd have loved this place, though.
[Oddly enough, his home and the book were featured on the BBC 4 'Britain By Bike' episode tonight, 27th July!]
