| Castleton Museum | Museum | England | Derbyshire | Visited | 19th Sep 2025 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Forecast for today is the best day of the week, so I have saved it for the Castleton and Mam Tor loop. I park at the National Park centre and have a quick look around at its exhibitions, which are very interesting. They have an Iron Age stone head in a display case, which was found somewhere in the vicinity. | 225 | 135 |
| Mam Tor Barrow | Round Barrow(s) | England | Derbyshire | Visited | 19th Sep 2025 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Approaching the top of Mam Tor from the southwest, and the flagstoned path takes me through the hillfort ramparts, and there on the left is a high fenced off area. This is the barrow, which is currently fenced off for protection. It doesn't look much from below, but looks much batter from above. Looking in detail at the OS map, the second barrow on Mam Tor is shown at the actual summit, with its regular stream of visitors. It has been covered in... Read More |

| Mam Tor | Hillfort | England | Derbyshire | Visited | 19th Sep 2025 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Its tuning into a nice afternoon as I get to the top of Mam Tor, and which didn't seem as long and hard slog to the top as I was expecting. The views all around are excellent, and most of the iron age defences clear to see. | 225 | 137 |
| Seven Stones Of Hordron | Stone Circle | England | Derbyshire | Visited | 19th Sep 2025 | 4 | 4 | 3 | There is still plenty of time left in the day, and I am feeling OK, so I head off through Bamford and over to the Ladybower reservoir where I park up near Cutthroat Bridge. On the map it looks like an easy walk out to the Seven Stones of Hordron, but it turns out that there are big fences stopping me getting up onto the moor, so its a long walk down and then south along a trackway, then up onto the moor and turn back north to the lovely stone cir...

| Verulamium Museum | Museum | England | Hertfordshire | Visited | 5th Oct 2025 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 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. | 225 | 140 |
| Verulamium Mosaic & Hypercaust | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Hertfordshire | Visited | 5th Oct 2025 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 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! | 225 | 141 |
| Verulamium Town Walls | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Hertfordshire | Visited | 5th Oct 2025 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 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. | 225 | 142 |
