Castle Ring (Derbyshire)
Date Added: 4th Feb 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th Jul 2005
Castle Ring (Derbyshire) submitted by nicoladidsbury on 5th Jul 2005. View up to Castle Ring Hillfort from the Limestone Way path near Youlgreave. Its possible to make out the turf banks, topped with a drystone wall. The hill is very steep sided, giving a very well defended site. The Limestone Way path continues up the side of the hill underneath Castle Ring, although there is no access to the fort as it is on private land.

A very tranquil setting, the light filters through the trees quite beautifully. There is a very peaceful and calm feeling here. A place to linger a while.

White Hag submitted by nicoladidsbury on 29th Mar 2004.
White Hag Hill Stone Circle
The circle has eleven stones, and an outlier. It sits on the hillside above an enclosed area containing earth banks, looking very much like an abandoned hillfort, although there is nothing marked on the OS map. Also a fantastic ancient spring called "Kings Well".

Bewcastle Cross submitted by nicoladidsbury on 20th Sep 2004. Bewcastle Cross, Cumbria
Image shows the detail from the north and east sides of the 15m cross. These sides are very well preserved.
The north side is divided into five compartments. In the highest and lowest are vines running in graceful curves and bearing foliage and fruit. "In the second and fourth divisions are two curiously-devised and intricately-twisted knots." The third division is filled with the chequer work. Between the compartments are lines of Runes which are now so indi...

Castlerigg submitted by nicoladidsbury on 5th Jan 2005. Castlerigg Stone Circle, near Keswick, Cumbria
This photo was taken on New Year's Eve. Remarkable sunlight filtered through wispy low cloud, lighting the stones, and Blencathra beyond. I liked the way the stones are reflected in the pool of water, giving a slightly different twist to the view I love so much!

Four Stones Hill Standing Stones

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cumbria)

Four Stones Hill Standing Stones submitted by nicoladidsbury on 11th Jan 2005. Standing Stones at Four Stones Hill near Haweswater
Two stones remain, just below the summit of Four Stones Hill.
One of the stones is leaning towards its neighbour, and looks like it may fall.
There are excellent views from the stones down to the reservoir, and over to the magnificent fells of high street and Kidsy Pike.
A great place to go for a walk, but I didn't feel any special ambience there, I rather thought the stones looked like two gate posts.
Perhaps I should revisit witho...

Hazel Moor Enclosure

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Cumbria)

Hazel Moor Enclosure submitted by nicoladidsbury on 21st Jan 2005. Hazel Moor Enclosure
A difficult site to photograph.
Kings Well lies in the fold of land just below the stone wall, where the wall turns to the left.
Rising up from this point and going between the two trees, is a very large earth bank, up to five feet high in places. This bank leads up to the plateau of Hazel Moor, which is enclosed with further banks.
There also appears to be a bank to the left hand side of the photo

The grass in the field had just been cut for silage, and the stones lie is a long curved strip of high grass.
You can just make out one of the stones nestling in the grass... (if you look really hard!)
