| Three Howes Rigg (West) | Round Barrow(s) | England | Yorkshire (North) | Visited | 9th Apr 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Three Howes Rigg (West), Smeathorns Road, North Yorkshire: Despite being called ‘Three Howes’, there are actual 5 barrows in total! It would be easy to whizz by these barrows, as they appear as slight mounds at the top of the ridge. With cars speeding by at a good 60mph or so, it’s difficult t... Read More |

| Four Stones Hill Standing Stones | Standing Stones | England | Cumbria | Couldn't find | 2nd Apr 2017 | 3 | Four Stones Hill, Haweswater: Ashamed to say I was defeated by the large stiles with big drops and missing steps. Was so looking forward to going to see this site and from Google Earth, it seemed possible for me to walk this route. Did look for gates in the fields to avoid the stiles, but up by Lo... Read More |
