Robin Hood's Stride
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd May 2005
Robin Hood's Stride submitted by AngieLake on 22nd May 2005. This stone caught my eye as I was climbing the east side of the hill towards Robin Hood's stride. (Following the footpath uphill, after parking in a slight layby beside the north/south road (Alport to Elton?) between Stanton Moor and Robin Hood's Stride.) The stone is well to the left of the path, over halfway up the hill. It looks as if it may have been used as a gatepost at some time.

Arbor Low Earthwork
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th Dec 2007
Arbor Low Earthwork submitted by AngieLake on 28th Dec 2007. This stone stands virtually alone in the large field surrounding Gib Hill. Here (freezing cold 16 Dec 07) Arbor Low henge lies at about 60-65 degs from the stone... possible to see Summer Solstice sun rising over the banks from this position, I guess??
Gib Hill is due south.

Arbor Low 1 submitted by AngieLake on 28th Dec 2007. If you can overlook the join in this compilation shot taken on a freezing afternoon of 16 Dec 07, you will see the southern causeway entrance to Arbor Low [above centre], the bumpy turmoil of the added barrow on the SE bank [left], the ditch [below], the raised central area of henge [right], and Gib Hill peeking over the distant bank [above the line of the causeway]. To the extreme right, against the darker furthest bank, the frosty form of one of the larger recumbent stones at the approx SW of...

Swinside submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Nov 2004. Swinside in south Cumbria, not far from Millom. One of the most beautiful circles in England, I think. Another panorama made from two photos, cobbled together.

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cumbria)

Giants Grave, Kirksanton submitted by AngieLake on 18th Nov 2005. I wonder if this is what Jack is referring to as the cup-mark on the eastern stone at Kirksanton? (See the large circular mark about 1/3 of the way up the near stone).

Creeg Tol
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Mar 2004
Creeg Tol submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Mar 2004. Creeg Tol - Barrow Hole"- (SW411277) a small, possibly modern circle (if old, would have maybe been a cairn circle). NW of Boscawen Un, just off the footpath on the way back to the main road layby- (Not towards farm!) . Tucked away amongst the bracken, below large rocks with unusually shaped basins ("The Giant's Footprints"). Boscawen Un is clearly seen from the tops of these towards the SE. The tallest stone is only about 2ft high, and there is a smallish white quartz stone at 260 deg.

Men Scryfa submitted by AngieLake on 19th Aug 2004. Angie at Men Scryfa - approx 2.30pm on 9th March 2004.
(I am 5'4" for comparison.) The carved Roman letters were reasonably clear then. In the distance is the amusingly-named 'Ding Dong' mine, and behind me, the wall bordering the lane between the stile-access to Men an Tol and the open moorland leading to Boskednan (Nine Maidens) circle. Because the lane can get very muddy in this area, the boots were very welcome!
All the fields around here are bordered with walls of stones that looked as...

St John's Well (Morwenstow) submitted by AngieLake on 11th Oct 2004. Lovely situation, tucked away in a leafy dell, on the edge of an orchard. Access signposted from lane. Just across the lane from the 'gated' end of the churchyard path at Morwenstow - famous poet-priest, Hawker's - church. (A level path runs through the churchyard, just above the entrance gate to the drive of the Vicarage. There is a plan of the area opposite the main gateway to the church, near the tearooms and carpark.) Approach down overgrown steps fringed by fronds of ferns.
