Brane Entrance Grave
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Cornwall)

Brane Entrance Grave submitted by Hamish on 13th May 2004. SW401282 Nr Sancreed.
After looking at Sancreed Well have a look for this lovely little Chambered Tomb.
Just before the farm the road does a sharp turn right you can park here.Best to ask permission from the farmer because access is not easy.May is a good time to come ,the tomb has a nice blue hat.

Wook's Quoit submitted by Hamish on 10th May 2004. ST390578 Somerset Nr Banwell.
When you reach the farm there is no problem parking.Ask the landowner for permission to enter.They are quite happy to give this permission.Be careful of the guardian geesethey have a hard peck.The stone is of the same type as the Stanton Drew stones. The farmers wife told me that they get a lot of dowsers there who find "interesting things"
This stone is well worth the effort finding.

Redland Park submitted by Hamish on 9th May 2004. Redland Park Bristol. ST579749.
This stone lies here unnoticed by passers daily. I for one remember it as a useful resting place on my way home after drinking sessions in my student days,and it never crossed my mind that it was a sarsen stone.There were reputedly at least two stone circles in this area but this is all that remains.There is however a large similar stone at the Canowie Road end of the park but this is iffy.

Come off M4 at junction 28,at exit roundabout take the A48 straight ahead.At the next roundabout take the right to Cleppa estate ,at the roundabout in the estate go straight ahead and you will see on the left a lane.Find somewhere here to park and follow the lane on foot.Just after you cross the motorway there is a gap in the fence on the left,cross the field and go past the trees and you will see the stones at the top of the hill.

When you go across the Fosse Way on the A40 to Burford take the 3rd turning on the right.Follow this road to Lodge Park on the right.This is a National Trust property so announce your intentions and then park in their car park.At the far end of this on the right is a pathway and a gate into a field,the barrow is at the top.Enjoy this virtually untouched beauty.

Clach Mhic Mhios

Visited: Yes on 9th Feb 2004
Clach Mhic Mhios submitted by hamish on 9th Feb 2004. This wonderful Stone is about 6 miles up the road inland from Lothbeg. There are stopping places,but choose carefully as it is further across the heather than you think. It can be very boggy in the spring. The stone is about 10ft tall. The silence here is most wonderful,there is absolutely nothing to break it but the occasional buzzard. I was called away by the distant and unmistakable call of a fine malt,so I went off to find it.
