Kerivin dolmen submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd Jun 2011. This Tee shaped allee couverte is supposedly a very good example of the type, but in June 2005it had become very overgrown.

Log Text: Not far off the busy road between Morlaix and Roscoff, this Tee shaped allee couvetre is becoming very overgrown, and its difficult to make anything out at all now. It is also not far from a field corner where people have decided to dumpstuff, so overall its not a winner. I seem to remember this from many years ago as being a good and interesting place to visit.

Verulamium Museum submitted by Thorgrim on 9th Nov 2005. The Verulamium Museum is built in the style of Ancient Rome. It contains a wonderful collection of objects very well presented. Striking tableux bring the archaeology to life, but the stars of the museum are the gigantic mosaic floors. Go there - it's a must! Full details of contents, opening times and admission charges can be seen here

Log Text: Stop off to have a look at the Verulamium roman city remains, when on my way back from Essex. I haven't been here since primary school, and I still remember the Roman fort I made out of cardboard. What an excellent museum, with some tremendous finds and displays. Genuine roman wall paintings and superb mosaics incorporated into the displays.

Log Text: From the museum, walk across Verulamium Park for a look at the covered mosaic floor from a large house, complete with hypercaust flues etc underneath. A feature is the mosaic panel which was built wrongly, at a 45 degrtee rotation to what it should have been!

Log Text: Much of the city walls can be traced, and now surround the park. I didn't have time to see much of these, but I did go to look at the main remaining stone section, which somehow survived demolition. Most of the Abbey was built using the roman wall and city stone, brick and tile.
