Ta :)

The tree and houses mean you don't really get proper sunset there, but it was still a lovely place to finish the day.

I like the contrast between the stones and the suburban setting. Kind of fits but kind of doesn't. thelonious Posted by thelonious

Best of all it was only 2 minutes walk from where we were staying, ideal. thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat

I think it's beauty lies in its endurance to outlast us all, and the respect shown by the walled lawn area acknowledging this, somewhere to sit quietly and meditate. moss Posted by moss

"... it's beauty lies in its endurance to outlast us all..."

Yep, I'd definitely agree with that, it's one of the most compulsive things about these sites although it does make it even more heartbreaking when they're destroyed or damaged in our supposedly enlightened age, after thousands of years of survival.

I'd prefer the hedge to be set back a bit mind you :)
