| Harbottle | Modern Stone Circle etc | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Harbottle Modern Standing Stone/Castle: From Holystone, we passed through Harbottle to get back to the A68, so stopped to look at the castle. The site is lovely.
I spotted the modern standing stone to the west of the car park. The standing stone is inscribed with words:
The Sad Castle

| Outer Golden Pot (Otterburn) | Marker Stone | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | 2 | 4 | 5 | Outer Golden Pot (Otterburn): What stunning views across to Upper Coquetdale from here. No wonder the site is marked as a view point on the Otterburn Ranges Access Map. The fencing surrounding this Golden Pot has been broken on three sides, so it’s possible to appreciate its form more fully than... Read More |

| Inner Golden Pot (Otterburn) | Marker Stone | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | -1 | 4 | 5 | Inner Golden Pot, Otterburn Ranges: No trace of this cross base can be found, but I couldn't resist having a look. There were some small sandstone pieces around the grid reference point, together with a funny green box - presumably some military equipment. A great viewpoint across to Upper Coquetd... Read More |

| Middle Golden Pot (Otterburn) | Marker Stone | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | 2 | 4 | 5 | Middle Golden Pot (Otterburn): Fenced off behind a nice, neat fence with a label “Do not feed the cross base” – no seriously, “Archaeological Area”. This stone was mostly hidden under the marsh grass and I struggled to get decent photographs as the camera kept focusing on the grass rather... Read More |

| Ridlees Cairn | Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Ridlees Cairn, Otterburn Ranges: This is one of the times I’ve actually made it up to a Trig Point (usually too steep a climb or too high a drop for my liking), but this was easy. Ridlees Cairn was actually 250 metres to the east north east of Bushman’s Crag, but I’m sure some people may visi... Read More |

| St Mungo's Well (Northumberland) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | 4 | 4 | 5 | St. Mungo's Well, Holystone, Northumberland: We’d already visited the lovely Lady Well on 8th September 2013, but stopped to look at this one, which is at the side of the Coquet River. Sitting by the right hand side of the road just before entering the village from the Otterburn Ranges, just befo... Read More |

| Bellshiel Law | Chambered Cairn | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th May 2017 | 3 | 5 | 5 | Bellshiel Law, Otterburn Ranges: It felt very strange driving onto the Otterburn Ranges with no red flags flying and no military around – I felt like I was trespassing. The ranges are absolutely huge – the Access map and Guide says they cover 90 square miles. We saw 3 other cars all day, 2 of ... Read More |
