Sacred Spring, Bath
Date Added: 9th Jan 2015
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Sacred Spring, Bath submitted by Thorgrim on 8th Aug 2004. The hot springs still rise at Bath. Sacred to Sulis long before the coming of the Romans. Tourists stand in awe of the Roman outflow, but that is merely a drain. Here where the hot water bubbles up from the earth is the real mystery.

London Stone
Date Added: 9th Jan 2015
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 1 Access 5
London Stone submitted by Thorgrim on 1st Apr 2004. Once considered to be the guardian of the City and the place where all distances from London were measured, the London Stone now sits almost forgotten in a little glass box set into the wall of 111, Cannon Street opposite the Underground Station at TQ326809. Very difficult to photograph because of the internal light and glass. It is very low to the pavement and I put my compact digital to the glass and hoped for the best!
The Stone is a fragment of oolithic limestone and must have been brou...

Visited: Yes on 9th Dec 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Long Meg And Her Daughters submitted by nicoladidsbury on 13th Jul 2005. Long Meg in midsummer moonlight. The solstice night is very short, but when you're waiting for the sun to rise, it gives plenty of opportuntiy to experiment with photos! I took this photo around 2am, in the middle of the solstice night. The moon was shining very brightly casting beautiful moonlight shadows, it felt very magical. I turned up my ISO rating to catch as much light as I could, and set the timer for 30 seconds. This is the result. I know its a grainy picture, and rather odd, but the b...

Log Text: Great circle to visit. Almost better than Long Meg and her daughters. Circle itself is not in the greatest of conditions but on a quiet evening nothing is better. Great views of the surrounding mountains and a real peacefulness.
