Sancreed Well
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Sep 2006
Sancreed Well submitted by JimChampion on 2nd Sep 2006. There are now two paths to Sancreed Well, this is the end of the older path which approaches from the southeast. The shiny iron railings are part of the landscaping work that took place in the late 19th century when the well and chapel were 'rediscovered' by the vicar of Sancreed.

Giant's Rock, Zennor
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 8th Sep 2006
Giant's Rock, Zennor submitted by JimChampion on 8th Sep 2006. August 2006. View of the Giant's Rock, taken with camera held at arms length above head height. The right of way that leads to the rock from the village of Zennor is an unusual dead-end bridleway. The last 20 metres (or so) is now an impassable mass of brambles and bushes, preventing you from getting anywhere near the rock.

Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Sep 2006
Bosullow Quoit submitted by JimChampion on 12th Sep 2006. This quoit-style roadside sculpture is much smaller than the ancient quoits found in its neighbourhood. The low angle makes it look bigger, and also hides the adjacent roads from view.

Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Oct 2006
Whitsbury Down submitted by JimChampion on 26th Oct 2006. The barrow is separated from a byway by a high hedge and this is all I could see leaning over the fence. The view is along the back of the barrow. To get a better view one would need to revisit when the crop has been harvested.
