My wife and two friends gasped with trepidation as I suggested we cycled left into a densely forested area, "we'll get shot!" as a nearby bird scarer blasted off. This complex is marked by red posts of which there are several areas. As you cycle down the slight incline, just before a left hand turn there is one part to your right, and a little further on, on the bend to the left another. I fail to see how the circle was destroyed for this plantation. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

The Broomrigg plantation is definitely worth a sniff around, OK so most of it is lost and ruined and in a heavily planted forest. But in a way it adds to the atmosphere, makes up a little for the lost views. There are the remains of a large circle, 4 stones in a arc made of red sandstone. A low bank of a henge, and kerb and cairn circles. They can take some finding, but you can make it a start to the journey out to see King Harry's Stone over the fields at Grey Yauds.
