Boscawen-un Stone Circle
Historical place
👍👍 Google maps takes you to the wrong location. Follow the A30 further along and you see a small laybye with a proper gate and path to the stones. A 10 min walk from the A30

Clachtoll Broch
Archaeological site
👍👍 Very well preserved, can still see where the next floor would have gone. We didn't know where it was, ended up wondering around a bit looking over cliffs. So highlighted where the broch is in a photo for others.

Midhowe Broch
Archaeological site
👍👍 Incredible Broch right next to Midhowe Cairn! The Broch was built 3,500 years after the Cairn. Really incredible inside as well! Both sites are worth the hike down then up the hill! Parking at the top of the hill for a few cars.

Danebury Iron Age Hillfort
Historical landmark
👍👍 such a beautiful place, the scenery is England at its must beautiful and when we went there were so many wild flowers and the sound of the insects was glorious! quite a steep walk up, but then it is a hill fort! worth using the upper car park if, like me, you find walking more difficult.

King Arthur's Stone image

King Arthur's Stone
Historical landmark
👍👍 A fine example of an Neolithic burial site often called a Cromlech or Dolmen. Dating back to at least 2500 BC and lots of legend and history to the site. No information boards here and that's a pity but can be found online. Visiting is easy as it is alongside the B4271 out of Reynoldstown on the...

Holnicote Estate image

Holnicote Estate
Hiking area
🫤 I must admit I was disappointed in this. The areas included in the Holnicote estate are beautiful for hiking but the house and park itself, although lovely, does not offer much and we turned back to some of the hiking tracks and towns around after a short visit.

Bartlow Hills
Historical landmark
👍 Visited Roman burial mounds today. I have lived in East Anglia for 15yrs but only came across the existence of these burial sites today after receiving a Book on Roman Site in UK as a Christmas present. So round up the dogs despite a wet day and arrived at Bartlow Church. Short walk later we came ac...

Wideford Hill Cairn
Archaeological site
👍 This was a neat experience and if you ever wanted to know what it would be like to be buried alive, this is it. It's a beautiful 15 minute walk downhill with a clear hiking trail. When you get there, slide the door open and walk down the ladder. A flashlight is provided in a box if you don't have on...

Gefrin image

Gefrin
Archaeological site
👍👍 First note that there is no visitor centre here. A scene from Lord of the Rings it is not even though it should be. The far reaches of the north has not the money for such grandeur. At the side of the road there is a stone structure with some rather nice wood carvings slowly weathering away. What yo...
