Maiden Castle Barrow Cemetery submitted by JimChampion on 26th Jul 2005. Looking north at the most prominent barrow of the cemetery, from the edge of the Maiden Castle visitors' car park. The barrow can also be seen from the nearby Dorchester by-pass, a few weeks earlier I was passing by and the barrow seemed to be stood amid a sea of blue cornflower.

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...

Upwey Wishing Well submitted by TimPrevett on 21st May 2005. The gorgeous setting of Upwey Wishing Well. See the main entry for details. I have tested the water for ailments of the feet - a badly sprained ankle dipped for about 10 seconds on 5 occasions. Wonderfully refreshing cold flowing water to swollen and bruised tendons, but have had nothing miraculous!
This view looks downstream.

This is taken from the Bincombe Barrows, at sunset on 31st October 2003. A breathtaking location. The barrows for this are not obvious, but looking west from where I was, this was the most obtrusive barrow I could locate, with the wonderfully atmospheric view.

Ridgeway Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Jan 2021. A round barrow (visible back right) adjacent the site of 50 plus Viking executions at the hands of Anglo Saxons in a disused Roman quarry on the east side of the Roman Road from Weymouth to Dorchester - now the Weymouth Relief Road. Considerate parking near the bridge over the A354 to the west of Bincombe Down. Interpretation panels for the barrows and Viking executions a short walk through a gate. The barrow particularly good to view from the south west side.
