| Bendor Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | The Battle Stone, Bendor: The A697 was busy with holiday traffic today, and with a longish walk ahead of us, we stopped off in a very busy Wooler for refreshments, we headed off towards Kilham and Ring Chesters. As we whizzed along the A697 westwards, I spotted this stone standing in the middle of ... Read More |

| Battle Stone (Kirknewton) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th Aug 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Battle Stone, Kirknewton: This was our second unscheduled stop of the day, and one I was very pleased to have made.
Having turned off the A697 onto the B6351, just before the site of Ad Gefrin to the west, I spotted this stone on the OS map. Goodness knows how I’d missed it before, but then ... Read More |

| Longknowe (Kilham) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th Aug 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Longknowe Settlement, Kilham: Our first scheduled stop of the day, having been diverted by two very interesting standing stones!

| Elsdonburn Shank (Kilham) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th Aug 2017 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Elsdonburn Shank Villages, Kilham: Why are all the interesting sites up, up, up hill?? From Longknowe Settlement, we drove to Thompsons Walls and parked just behind their stack of sileage bales. The footpath continues here, and is metalled, but is a private road, so we decided not to drive any fur... Read More |

| Ring Chesters | Hillfort | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th Aug 2017 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Ring Chesters, Elsdonburn Shank: This was a relatively long walk. Having parked at Thompsons Wall Farm (NT 86817 30529), we took the tarmacked footpath up to Elsdonburn Shank farm (discussed farmhouse but the land is still farmed) and neatly kept.
Just before the barn at Elsdonburn Shank, we div... Read More |

| Elsdonburn Shank Shielings (Kilham) | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Northumberland | Visited | 26th Aug 2017 | 1 | 3 | 3 | Elsdonburn Shank Shielings, Kilham: Husband had read somewhere that these might possibly have Saxon origins, although I’ve not been able to find the link.
Marked on the OS map as ‘old shielings’ we missed these on the walk up to Elsdonburn Shank as I was looking on the wrong side of the tra... Read More |

The main entrance to the church yard leads over a small, nicely landsc... Read More |
