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.

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!

Log Text: Amazing site in the village of Xaghra. Buses every hour on Gozo, some go to the village itself or others stop 2km away
A stylish visitors centre seems out of place in the village and a walk through the museum and exhibits leads you to a walk to the temple itself. Its obviously very impressive. Part of the temple is still held up by scaffolding but with the age and the sheer size its in need of support. Breathtaking to be honest. A small shop leads you out back into the village where the bus stop is literally metres away
Beware the day tours give 45 mins to this site and then onto others. I am glad l made my way there and spent time as and when l pleased
A few sets near the site would be good Heritage Malta, it can be bakingly hot
