Lligwy Burial Chamber submitted by Jimwithnoname on 8th Sep 2011. Amazing dolmen and very unnerving sat underneath the 25 ton capstone. It's perched on very little it seems on the one side. The warden approached us as we sat eating at the site. He asked if we were thinking of stopping the night, which we were, but as he said. that's a no no. We respected him and moved on after our picnic. He was quite pleasant and only doing his job. Many people wild camp as he said, and set fire to crops or drive through hedges!

Long Meg And Her Daughters submitted by nicoladidsbury on 13th Jul 2005. Long Meg in midsummer moonlight. The solstice night is very short, but when you're waiting for the sun to rise, it gives plenty of opportuntiy to experiment with photos! I took this photo around 2am, in the middle of the solstice night. The moon was shining very brightly casting beautiful moonlight shadows, it felt very magical. I turned up my ISO rating to catch as much light as I could, and set the timer for 30 seconds. This is the result. I know its a grainy picture, and rather odd, but the b...

Log Text: Electric fencing surrounds this field in which the circle lays, which has been recently used for cattle. The stones are surrounded by a wooden fence and more electric fencing. Extremely muddy (sunk up to my ankles ) and very boggy so l dodged and went under electric fencing to get to this very overgrown/feels neglected site. Site most definately not easy to get to

Log Text: Before turning into Goodmanham village from Market Weighton turn into Spring Lane. There is now a small layby with a sign pointing down to the well. Well cared for space with steps down- quite steep. Someone had cut foliage around the well so l scooped out what l could to help the water flow. Clootie tree further down (more steps) and a sign with information on
I also looked for the Lady well in Goodmanham village but no sign so maybe dry at this time of year
