Glastonbury Tor
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 17th May 2006
Glastonbury Tor submitted by TimPrevett on 17th May 2006. I awoke early Sunday morning; mist hung in the streets of Glastonbury - so I *knew* that above it would be fantastic, so I got out quick, eating breakfast on the go... as I ascended the tor, the mist began thinning to give a fantastic day above. Magic.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2006
Avebury submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd May 2006. Avebury snails; I don't recall having seen snails on standing stones before, so seeing this fellow (and some other companions) at Avebury, well, it seemed quite unusual. I'll keep looking at other sites from now!

Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2006
West Kennet Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd May 2006. The West Kennet Avenue, looking uphill towards Avebury. Perhaps I have watched too much Children of the Stones, but it is easy to see profiles of people in these stones.

Country: England (Somerset)

Chalice Well submitted by TimPrevett on 26th May 2006. Chalice Well gardens - a really beautiful place. Of all the environments created around holy wells, this must surely be one of the best, aesthetically pleasing. Absolutely stunning place.

Cuween Hill
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2006
Cuween Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jun 2006. This was the best feeling tomb on Orkney for me; darkness. No modern skylights. The solitude, and darkness are quite creepy, but it is superb. A very low crawl indeed, and investigating the four smaller chambers is a must. Best shots were without a flash, and I rather liked this self portrait just near the entrance. Summed up the feeling of this tomb, which some have called "The Tomb of the Beagles" due to the quanity of dog bones found here.

Taversoe Tuick
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2006
Taversoe Tuick submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jun 2006. This two tier tomb was my other Orcadian favourite; visited about 10pm, the light level was still pretty good; a quick dash down the ladder with camera on timer to give a little more sense of scale to the monument. This is a site to spend time at; lends itself very well to a little mellow reflection.

Corndon Hill 3
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2004
Corndon Hill 3 submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2004. The third cairn on top of Corndon Hill, looking to Corndon Hill 4 and the north east, Midwinter Solstice 2004.
Many of the cairns show signs of interference and digging into; about five such 'holes', three very sizeable, are within this cairn.
View to the north east.

Corndon Hill 4
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2004
Corndon Hill 4 submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2004. The most north eastern cairn on top of Corndon Hill, Midwinter Solstice 2004. Corndon Hill 3, left, and Corndon Hill 2, top right are also visible.
The cairns are substantial, and writing as one who has walked miles to see much lesser cairns, this hilltop is a worthy visit.
My friend, 'Wintertrees', helps gave a sense of scale.
