Visited: Yes on 8th Nov 2013
Museo de Arte Precolombino submitted by pab on 8th Nov 2013. NASCA figurine, 1 – 800 A.D. Although I knew the name Nasca from the famous ‘Lines’, I had not realised just how rich the rest of their culture and artefacts had been!

Devils Quoits submitted by pab on 12th Mar 2014. Part of the ramparts in the south-eastern segment, showing the extent of the rabbit impact - but also showing just how impressive the stones themselves are!
In any other setting, and without the noise and smells, this would be a delight. Hopefully we just visited at a bad time, and in a few years things will be far better - so please don't give up on this place!

This photo was submitted to the Portal by Ken Mumford in the hope that we could identify it. As Ken wrote: "I have been going through some old 35mm slides. Attached is one I took when taking secondary school pupils from my Swindon school on a holiday to South Wales. I'm not sure of the exact date but I would say it is between 1979 and 1986."

Calling Low Dale
Date Added: 24th May 2015
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 9th Feb 2015
Calling Low Dale submitted by pab on 9th Feb 2015. Photo provided by Alexis Lambourne:
"The cave / shelter makes use of a natural overhang in the cliff which makes a roof, this has been added to by enclosing it with a dry stone wall. The enclosed space is small (~6 ft long and maybe 4 feet wide). It is dry-ish, but the strata of the limestone rock just there is vertical making the roof quite loose and a bit drippy. Definitely more of a shelter than a 'home'. "

This was once a major centre on Inca civilisation and religion.
