Knowlton Henges Henge View all content for Knowlton Henges

Visited 13.10.14 Directions: Sign posted off the B3078. You can park right next to the site. This is one of those sites that I had been looking forward to visiting for a long time. I am pleased to say I wasn’t disappointed – despite the heavy rain coming down. (At least I had the site to myself!) This is pretty much as easy a henge you are ever likely to visit. It has obviously suffered from erosion over the years but it is still in pretty good condition. It must have been very impressive when first constructed. What surprised me was the old yew tree at the far side of the henge which was covered in clooties, bells, feathers, messages etc. Some of the messages were quite moving. It is nice that some people keep the old traditions alive. The ruined church is also an obvious place to have a look around. Inside the church were many tea lights scattered about the floor. Knowlton Henge is well worth visiting if you are in the area. That’s another English Heritage site knocked off the list!
