Chyenhal submitted by ocifant on 31st May 2005. A difficult site to get to, there was no-one at the farm to ask for access, this is the closest I could get without trespassing.

These stones are probably the entrance to a Round. They are guarded by an altogether at times too frisky horse!

Wookey Hole Caves
Date Added: 22nd Jun 2011
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
Wookey Hole Caves submitted by JimChampion on 26th Aug 2008. Fairly standard picture from one of the first caverns (The so-called Witch's Kitchen) at Wookey Hole caves. The water is the River Axe, which soon after this point emerges into the open. Bear in mind that the water level in the caves was raised by the construction of Wookey Hole mill in the 17th century (and even further back with the mill recorded in the Domesday Book). The caves were used by palaeolithic humans and again by people in the Iron Age. In the past hundred years they have been devel...

Wookey Hole Caves Museum

Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
Wookey Hole Caves Museum submitted by JimChampion on 26th Aug 2008. I encountered this palaeolithic hunter-gatherer in the "Dinosaur Valley" at Wookey Hole. Hopefully it doesn't reinforce the idea that 'cavemen' co-existed with dinosaurs. His beard is looking a little green.

Stalldon Row
Date Added: 29th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
Stalldon Row submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2006. The northern end of the row has 4 wonderful large (2 metres plus) stones still standing, which can be seen from miles away all over the southern moor, and look in many ways like walkers on the hilltop.
Seen here looking to the north, the wild moorland stretches off into the distance.

Date Added: 6th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St John's Well (Morwenstow) submitted by AngieLake on 11th Oct 2004. Lovely situation, tucked away in a leafy dell, on the edge of an orchard. Access signposted from lane. Just across the lane from the 'gated' end of the churchyard path at Morwenstow - famous poet-priest, Hawker's - church. (A level path runs through the churchyard, just above the entrance gate to the drive of the Vicarage. There is a plan of the area opposite the main gateway to the church, near the tearooms and carpark.) Approach down overgrown steps fringed by fronds of ferns.
Door of ...

St Nectan's Well (Welcombe)
Date Added: 6th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Well (Welcombe) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 7th Oct 2006. St Nectan was a Dark Age Welsh saint with another well just up the road at Stoke.
Water from the well is used in the church for baptisms but on the day we visited, the well was in use for a different purpose. A cake tin ‘treasure chest’ had been hidden in it and a constant stream of children were delighted to find treasure in the well. St Nectan probably would never have expected his well to be used for such a purpose but all those children at least now know that the well exists.
