West Kennet Barrow submitted by Horatio on 22nd Sep 2024. huh...found another photo I managed to get, accidentally admittedly of West Kennet Barrow whilst aiming for Silbury Hill. Looks like a dog fight has happened in that sky too.

Shot inside the Eastern edge of the Circle, looking due north.
We have the NorthEast Trilithon on the left with the morning-shadow of Stones 6/7/107 falling across it.
Bluestone 32-C is in the shadow of Stone 6.
It was a lovely morning!

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...

Lligwy Burial Chamber

Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 0000. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
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!

Din Lligwy submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Jul 2002. Lligwy Ancient Settlement SH497861
This settlement, NW from Moelfre and not far from the Lligwy burial chamber is huge! A short walk from parking space for maybe 3 cars, through woodland, this location can occupy a considerable amount of time exploring the nooks & crannies of this probable 4th century AD settlement.

Log Text: Found this circle on a local map and decided to visit, it takes a bit of working out where it is as it is not visible feom thw road and getting through a few fieks of nosy cows tongwt there was an adventure in itself.

Log Text: A very interesting burial camber. A long walk require from the National Trust car park (charges apply) , the sign post said 1 1/2 miles but l took a route near the Uffington Horse so it was nearly four miles there on very muddy paths. Great site though, reasonably well sign posted (although l did wonder when l was a mile down the track leading to it and qondered whether l had passed it!) Very clean area, atmospheric but isolated

Log Text: Well sign poated, as is The Cove in the village. A couple of parking spaces available near the gate leading to the circle. I could only look from the wall at the edge of the field as it was extremely muddy- the circle is on farmland with permitted access and had been used for cattle so was very churned up. Could of been amazing going to the stones with the low winter sun
