Log Text: After an afternoon visiting Kynance Cove and Lizard Point, then dinner at the Witchball, it is getting late, and I want to go find the Dry Tree menhir beside Goonhilly Downs Earth Station. Park in the nature reserve car park and a lovely walk all around, to find the glorious mix of ancient standing stone and tumuli, juxtaposed beside all the hiTech tracking station dishes. Lovely in the setting sun.

Log Text: From circle 275 the stones of the Druids Circle can be seen up on the hill against the skyline. I make straight for it, but this is probably not the best way as it takes me through a little valley with lots of boggy area to get through. The site is positioned on a flattened platform area, with an embanked circle of stones about 35 metres diameter. Several of the stones are large and standing upright, many much smaller and some are flat to the ground. The position up here is gorgeous with the views out and over the sea with the Great Orme to the east, and Anglesey to the west. There are a couple here taking it all in, with the lady sat sketching the circle. I was intending having my lunch here, but I move on to the next site for that, so we do not disturb each other.

Log Text: How on Earth can I never have been to visit this before, as 43 years ago I lived only half a mile away! So, on a sunny day, after a visit to the expensive dentist, I stopped by for a look. A few large stones remain in the parking area outside a large house near the top of Druid Hill, in the leafy suburb od Stoke Bishop, north of Bristol. The stones can be seen from the road through the gateway.

Drove Cottage Henge submitted by thecaptain on 11th Sep 2006. A 55 metre diameter henge which can be seen in a field to the south of Hillgrove Road to the north of Wells, and to the east of Priddy.
The earthworks can clearly be seen in the field, but without proper access to the field, it was difficult to fully determine what is there.

Drizzlecombe W row submitted by Anne T on 15th Jul 2019. In trying to identify this elusive row, Sandy asked members of the group to stand on stones they thought might be part of the stone row. From foreground to background: Janet Daynes, Dave Parks (Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks), Gordon Fisher (just off to the right) and Sandy G. Sandy G is walking down the line of stones. He is planning a return trip later in the year to take a closer look.

Log Text: Not the nicest of walks along the old Ridgeway which is now a dusty/muddy/rutted gravel farm track, with several bits fenced and rerouted, I eventually get to the first of two barrows marked. On the north of the track is a large overgrown mound, which is well dug by badgers. A bit further east and to the south of the track where the other barrow is marked, there is nothing to see other than a difference in the growth of the yellow flowering rapeseed.

Log Text: Walk round the Korea Friendship Trail from Dursley on a bright and breezy Sunday afternoon with a pint in the Old Spot afterwards. The views up here are tremendous, and with various other nearby viewpoints you get a full 360 degrees. Even on this not very clear day, as well as almost the entire length of the Cotswold Edge, I could make out the Mendip Hills, Bristol Channel, Black Mountains, Malvern Hills.
