Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Rollright Stones submitted by Energyman on 21st Dec 2020. This was the closest the weather forecast would allow me to get to this year's solstice sunrise, 20/12/20 8:30am. Luckily very little cloud. The shot is from the altar as I call it, through the entrance at the King's Men, Rollrights.
This alignment was calculated by Jack Morris Eyton, though he never got the chance to confirm it.

York Roman remains submitted by jeffrep on 7th Apr 2020. The English city of York has, since Roman times, been defended with walls of one form or another. In 71 A.D., the Romans built a fort occupying about 50 acres on the banks of the River Ouse, and surrounded it with a rectangle of walls. This photo is the Multangular Tower, that was constructed as part of a series of eight similar defensive towers, built from 209 to 211 A.D. It has ten sides and is almost 30 feet tall.

Visited: Yes
Canongate Mercat Cross submitted by Anne T on 9th Oct 2019. Standing in the NE corner of the courtyard, looking SW to Canongate. The cross looks modern, but then Canmore (and British Listed Buildings) tell us that the octagonal cross shaft is original; the rest are 'modern' replacements.

Girth Cross (Canongate) submitted by Anne T on 9th Oct 2019. Standing on the pedestrian island at the western side of the roundabout, I had to wait for ages to get a view without traffic whizzing by on either side. The outer wall Scottish Parliament building is on the left hand side of the photograph. This view looks west up Canongate. If I hadn't have known, from our Treasure Trail clues, that this was the site of the cross, I would have passed it by, but it marks the western limit of the Girth of Holyrood, the largest sanctuary in Scotland, and the las...
