Robin Hood and Little John
Date Added: 15th Oct 2018
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2016
Robin Hood and Little John submitted by Thorgrim on 21st Oct 2004. Standing stones in East Anglia? That's what the book says, but I don't think so. Two well dressed stones incredibly difficult to find by the River Nene. Probably early medieval stones set here to mark a safe crossing of the wide river.

Bartlow Hills
Date Added: 15th Oct 2018
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Cambridgeshire)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Sep 2018
Bartlow Hills submitted by Thorgrim on 17th Jul 2003. This is the largest barrow in Britain and very few people know of it. This Romano-British site at Bartlow is on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border at TL 586453. Originally the largest group in Europe when there were seven enormous barrows here. Then the now disused railway came through and flattened four of them! The largest survivor is 45 feet high and the highest in Britain by far. The wooden staicase gives access to the top without causing erosion. You can then look down on the other ...

Log Text: This site in the Heath Wood is also known as the Danish Barrow Cemetery. A footpath leads down to the wood from the Ingleby Road. Not so easy to see the barrows as it is now a wood rather than the original grassy slope. Anyway it is a pleasant walk through the wood.
Anchor Church
Date Added: 15th Feb 2019
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Feb 2019
Anchor Church submitted by ESgt on 16th Oct 2011. Anchor Church, at the point where R.Trent turns eastward from flowing south.

Log Text: Quite an adventure approaching the caves from the Ingleby side. Very narrow and tortuous path with possibility of falling into the Trent in many places. Worth the hike but my advice would be to approach from the other direction which is much easier (our return route). The footpath also leads to the Danish barrow cemetery if you want a longer walk.

As I said it is very overgrown although the barrow is very visible through the thorns if you go to have a look. Sunday afternoons probably best.
