Loch of Houlland
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Loch of Houlland submitted by pab on 15th Oct 2006. View south over the Loch of Houlland and its broch.
The next broch south in the chain around the Shetland coast was sited on the hill at Sae Breck which can be located on this picture from the square remains on the horizon of the WWll building which was built on the same site. There are no readily identifiable remnants of the Sae Breck broch, but its position can be located through the trig point shown on OS maps.

Gwal y Filiast
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Carmarthenshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Aug 2006
Gwal y Filiast submitted by pab on 30th Aug 2006.
Ancient Track alongside Gwal y Filiast.
The 5 point score for 'ambience' is very well deserved - it brought a real smile to my face when this delightful site came into view along a path which had clearly been used for centuries. The alternative name mentioned elsewhere of Dolwilym (William's Meadow) just doesn't do the place justice!
The surrounding area has been sensitively cleared to let the site breathe since PaulM's initial picture.

Bedd Arthur
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jul 2006
Bedd Arthur submitted by pab on 21st Jul 2006. Setting the scale: Looking due East over Bedd Arthur, it actually looks much smaller than expected from many pictures, and this one lets the landscape re-assert itself rather well! From the same spot, Carn Leidi near St David's was also visible looking due West

Carreg Samson, Abercastle

Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2006
Carreg Samson, Abercastle submitted by pab on 26th Jun 2006. Confirming both the photo and the site as worthy winner of the Spring 2006 prize!
We loved the long late afternoon shadows, and the one of the 'principal sheep' made us realise that many ancient animal drawings make more sense if thought of as shadow tracings? The theory falls down rather for cave paintings though!
One wonderful thing about this site is the fact that there is a 'CL' campsite next to the field - what a view to wake up to!

Lady's Well (Holystone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 5th Dec 2004. During the first half of the 12th century a Priory was built at Holystone as a home for some Augustinian Canonesses. Since then the well has been known as Lady's Well after these religious ladies who cared for the well right up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. They are said to have added the cross that reflects so splendidly in the water.
