The Stiperstones submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Jun 2004. A cairn just north east of Manstone Rock.
"The Stiperstones" is the name for a hill on the far west reaches of Shropshire, well into The Welsh Marches, overlooking the Welsh border. It is the second highest hill in Shropshire, affording superb views in all directions, and having several bronze age cairns along its ridge.

Goughs Cave (Cheddar) submitted by creators on 20th Jun 2005. One of the many side pools in Gough's Cave, Cheddar with beautiful formations.

Flower's Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 5th Jun 2005. June 2005. Looking across to Flower's barrow cliff fort from Mupe bay. A patch of sunlight is illuminating the hill and the outline of the ramparts can be made out against the sky. The right hand side of the fort is disappearing into the sea! We had walked far enough to get to this point, keeping on going to Flower's barrow was out of the question. Not an easy site to access!

Bindon Hill submitted by JimChampion on 14th May 2005. The context of the fort, on top of Bindon Hill and towering over Lulworth Cove. The cove would have been an important harbour for early Iron Age settlers/invaders arriving from the continent, and it is suggested that the defensive earthworks of Bindon Hill were a hurried beach-head fortification to secure control of the cove.

Country: England (Dorset)

Wardstone Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2007. Looking north towards the Wardstone Barrow. The track on the right leads to Chideock Farm, and is a permissive footpath. There was originally another barrow in the field to the right, but it is destroyed. Presumably the wooden posts around this one mark the limit of the scheduled ancient monument.
It was a very grey and dull Christmas Eve, this was the only decent photo that I took of the site!
