Loch of Houlland
Date Added: 12th Feb 2019
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Loch of Houlland submitted by pab on 15th Oct 2006. View south over the Loch of Houlland and its broch.
The next broch south in the chain around the Shetland coast was sited on the hill at Sae Breck which can be located on this picture from the square remains on the horizon of the WWll building which was built on the same site. There are no readily identifiable remnants of the Sae Breck broch, but its position can be located through the trig point shown on OS maps.

Gwal y Filiast

Gwal y Filiast submitted by pab on 30th Aug 2006.
Ancient Track alongside Gwal y Filiast.
The 5 point score for 'ambience' is very well deserved - it brought a real smile to my face when this delightful site came into view along a path which had clearly been used for centuries. The alternative name mentioned elsewhere of Dolwilym (William's Meadow) just doesn't do the place justice!
The surrounding area has been sensitively cleared to let the site breathe since PaulM's initial picture.

Bedd Arthur
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jul 2006
Bedd Arthur submitted by pab on 21st Jul 2006. Setting the scale: Looking due East over Bedd Arthur, it actually looks much smaller than expected from many pictures, and this one lets the landscape re-assert itself rather well! From the same spot, Carn Leidi near St David's was also visible looking due West

Carreg Samson, Abercastle submitted by pab on 26th Jun 2006. Confirming both the photo and the site as worthy winner of the Spring 2006 prize!
We loved the long late afternoon shadows, and the one of the 'principal sheep' made us realise that many ancient animal drawings make more sense if thought of as shadow tracings? The theory falls down rather for cave paintings though!
One wonderful thing about this site is the fact that there is a 'CL' campsite next to the field - what a view to wake up to!

Holy Well (Biddestone)
Date Added: 13th Jun 2016
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Holy Well (Biddestone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. The Starwell is quite a large spring that flows from a slope and into a small stream. If you are lucky you may find one of the tiny star shaped fossils (crinoids) which give the spring one of it’s names. These fossils are freed from the underlying rock by the water, carried to the surface and deposited in the silty bed of the spring. We spent some time sifting about in the icy water (closely watched by a herd of curious cows) but found only a few modern coins, no doubt left by previous visi...
