Westbury White Horse submitted by dodomad on 26th Jul 2021. Westbury Horse - one of a set of illustrations by Eric Ravilious, featuring hill figures from the south-east and south-west of England, all painted in 1939, and intended to illustrate a children’s book he was working on for Puffin.
Now available as a set of postcards from Rather Good Art.
The book got as far as the mock-up stage by 1942, but sadly never reached completion. Ravilious was recorded as missing in that year (‘death presumed’), after a patrol searching for a missing L...

Log Text: Opposite County Gate car park there is a bridlepath. Follow this for 50 yards or so and you will see a grass path in front of you heading up to the top of the hill. The path goes off to the right from the bridlepath just before a signpost. Follow it almost to the top, where you will find the stones.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 12th Apr 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Yonder Bognie Warden submitted by cosmic on 22nd Mar 2004. Yonder_Bognie at NJ601458 in Aberdeenshire is rated by Burl as a Class 3 Circle but I felt it deserves more due to its impressive recumbent.
The recumbent at about nine feet long by five feet high is almost flat on top and is one of the most impressive I've seen. The circle especially to the west side seems to have some rogue stones dumped into it - there is a profusion of stones around the perimeter of the neighbouring fields!
The owner lives at Kirkland Farm and seemed happy for me to vi...
