King Arthur's Cave
Date Added: 30th May 2025
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Herefordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th May 2025. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
King Arthur's Cave submitted by sem on 23rd Aug 2006.
This cave was inhabited from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age, a period of over 50,000 years. Finds here include bone, flint and "imported" pebbles. Caves nearby have also yielded Beaker and Roman pottery, but as this cave was also used to extract iron in the 18th and 19th centuries much archaeological evidence has been destroyed.

Log Text: We walk on through the Lords Wood and arrive at a car park just above King Arthurs caves, to which we wander down. The caves are very interesting and we spend a fair while exploring in them, a longish cave to the right with a smaller separate entrance on the left, with a connection between them. Up in the car park is a noticeboard with all sorts of historical detail and stories about them.

The three stones of the northern arc which are still standing.
Even on a nice dry day after a long dry spell, beware the pools of bog which will catch the unwary - or those not looking where they are walking !

King Arthur's Round Table submitted by h_fenton on 1st Oct 2010. King Arthur's Round Table.
I tried to fly the kite here but the wind was too inconsistent to safely get the camera high enough. Here instead of a kite I used a carp fishing pole, with a camera attachment on the end to lift my camera higher (6-7 metres).

Log Text: From Mayburgh I walk to King Arthur's Round Table, and then pop into its field for a walk around the outside. Much smaller, and more henge like than the nearby Mayburgh, this has the ditch well inside the outer bank. Unfortunately, being so close to the busy roads, it suffers a fair bit in the ambience stakes.

Log Text: Now onwards to Minions, first looking at King Doniert's stone. This all took me ages, with some amazing traffic holdups behind sheep, tractors, busses, and best of all Highland Cattle sitting on a bridge. Donierts stone is looking splendid in the sun, but I feel I should head on as the road is chaos, with a school bus and lorry trying to pass each other.

King's Weston Hill barrow cemetary submitted by theCaptain on 13th Apr 2012. Walk several hundred metres west along the hilltop ridge from the Kings Weston Hillfort, past the large circular earthwork, across the roman road and its earthwork bank, and the open grassland of the hilltop now has several bushy clumps dotted around.
Some of these clumps hide the remains of several bronze age burial mounds.

Log Text: Walk several hundred metres west along the hilltop ridge from the Kings Weston Hillfort, past the large circular earthwork, across the roman road and its earthwork bank, and the open grassland of the hilltop now has several bushy clumps dotted around. Some of these clumps hide the remains of several bronze age burial mounds. The burial mounds are not in the best of condition, but are thought to date back to almost 2000BC. It is a very pleasant spot up on this hilltop, surrounded by the northwestern suburbs of Bristol, but you would hardly know it, and can easily get taken back in time while up here.

Log Text: A few hundred metres west along the hilltop ridge from the Kings Weston Hillfort can be seen the remains of a large circular earthwork, of unsure date. People have been living and working on this hilltop ridge since neolithic times, and it is thought that this earthwork is some sort of stockpound dating from perhaps bronze or iron age times. It is a very pleasant spot up on this hilltop, surrounded by the northwestern suburbs of Bristol, but you would hardly know it, and can easily get taken back in time while up here.

King's Weston Hillfort submitted by theCaptain on 13th Apr 2012. The northeastern end of the ridge that is Kings Weston Hill.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: At the northeastern end of the ridge that is Kings Weston Hill, now in the northwestern suburbs of Bristol, is to be found the remains of an iron age hillfort and farmstead. It is situated in parkland, just to the southwest of the more impressive Blaise Castle. The hill and immediately surrounding area is nowadays parkland, a part of the Blaise Castle estate. The steeply sloping sides of the hill are thick woodland, while the flat top of the ridge is open grassland, and makes for a nice walk. There is an informative noticeboard. The defended enclosure at the end of the ridge has been dated to 800BC and was in use until Roman times. The steep northern edge of the ridge still has some remains of earthern ramparts, while on the flat top of the hill is a rectangular banked enclosure.

Log Text: A visit to the Lynn museum in Kings Lynn, hopefully to see the remains of Seahenge, removed from Holme beach and displayed here. I had seen online that the gallery in the museum was closed for building work, stating that it would reopen in "early June". It is now the 11th June, so not expecting to be able to see it, I was hoping! Upon getting to the museum, the people at the reception told me that the building work was over running, it was not open, but they were now hopeful for some time in July 2024. No good to me.

Kingston Russell Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd Apr 2004. Kingston Russell Stone Circle, Dorset, SY577878.
View of this pleasant circle on a nice early evening, September 2003. It was good to be able to see the circle properly, as when I have visited here in years gone by, the field within which it lives has been used for crops. I seem to even remember struggling to see it through a field of maize one year.
