>So maybe the word 'sacred' has some sanctity? ;-)

LOL

Actually, yes. Sacred should remain holy, when used for landscapes, in my opinion.

`Ritual` is different. Although still primarily describing a religious activity, ritual has also crossed over to be used in a non-religious context.

If only Nigel had called this thread Ritual Landscapes...............

:o)

Actually, may I ask if there is any such thing as a ritual landscape? We do not build them today, so why would we in the past? What evidence do we have of a deliberate effort to build a landscape dedicated to the gods? In 1000 years time archaeologists may well dig up the thirty of so churches in my neighborhood and call it a sacred landscape, but it's not.
