Great Cursus, Stonehenge
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cursus
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 10th Oct 2006
Great Cursus, Stonehenge submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Oct 2006. One of the National Trust interpretive signs for the Cursus area. Such a small percentage of the visitors to Stonehenge actually get to see there. In a 4 hour walk from Stonehenge, taking in the Cursus, Old and New King Barrow, Cuckoo Stone, to Woodhenge and Durrington Walls, returning along some of the Avenue, I met 1 other person. If you want some solitude near Stonehenge (I was going to say peace, but helicopters were buzzing around very often), explore the wider landscape. It's a treat.

Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Oct 2006. When visiting this site, if you bear in mind that the Victorians presented this site in accordance with their interpretation, you'll understand why the trees dominate. They believed the tombs here were Druid temples, and so they planted the area with Beech in the 1870s to reflect their notion of it as a Druidic Grove.
