| Rollright Stones | Stone Circle | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 24th Jan 2023 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Not my first visit and hopefully not my last. A clear, bright January day with "see for miles" visibility. The right sort of day to visit this place, I think. Had some time to myself, which was a bonus, but some chaterers arrived and that was my cue to leave - in truth, I never feel inclined to stay... Read More |

Lesson learned! Back I went to visit The Thor Stone, less than 2 miles down the road from The Hoar Stone (and only a couple of miles again from The Hawk Stone, which I have visi... Read More |

| Hoar Stone at Enstone | Chambered Tomb | England | Oxfordshire | Visited | 21st Aug 2022 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Somehow, despite living relatively close by (<20 miles) I've never visited this site, having been put off by reports of it being "partially hidden in vegetation", "dark, hard to photograph" and similar. In the event, I found the site to be remarkably open, accessible, and more than light enough to e... Read More |
