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".

Wayland's Smithy submitted by nicoladidsbury on 15th Sep 2008. Waylands Smithy - tomb entrance
I have wanted to visit this site for a long time. A very peaceful, wowful, place. The walk from Uffington Castle and the white horse, along the ridgeway was beautiful too.
This site was used in Manda Scott's "Crystal Skull", and was brilliantly described, making me want to visit the site even more...

Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2005
Waberthwaite Cross submitted by nicoladidsbury on 27th Apr 2005. Ancient Anglian/Scandinavian Stone Cross at St John's Church, Waberthwaite. East panel, unfortunately in shadow, view looking over to the Estuary of the river Esk.
This tiny church nestles by the tidal estuary of the river Esk, tucked away in a remote and tranquil corner of Cumbria. The church is looking rather forlorn, its doors battened over with strips of wood, but the churchyard is quite idillic in an unassumping, unkempt way.
The Cross Shaft is 2m high, and quite badly weathered, ma...

Stobo Kirk standing stone

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Scottish Borders)
Visited: Yes on 14th Oct 2007
Stobo Kirk standing stone submitted by nicoladidsbury on 14th Oct 2007. Stobo Kirk
There is a very long stone in the fabric of the wall of the chapel. There is also a smaller long stone, which is the same colour. Could this be a fragment of the larger stone. And could this once have been a standing stone. There is a similar stone in the other wall. This is a very ancient site, and it is possible that St Kentigern chose is for his church because of its pagen importance, so it could be a standing stone. 2 miles to the NE are a pair of standing stones.
