And the bridestones - that's got to be an Alan Garner favourite in that area? The photos make them look really imposing? They look massive?
They are big. The parallels with West Kennet are immediate. And then you think, right, well something like that wouldn't have just been in isolation up here... Also, despite its (relatively) ruinous state, all around you can see evidence of megaliths, forecourt stones, kerb stones, cairn stones etc. it all starts to fit in place. Sight line alighnments and views over the cheshire plain and to Wales are magnificent.

I must have been very close to them when I went to all-time-favourite Ludchurch. It's always so many places, so little time. All the more reason to get out as often as possible. And it's great to be able to use all the knowledge on this website to choose. If only I didn't leave organising things until the last minute of course.
It's on the ridge leading up to the Cloud, which is a wonderful Sacred Hill, a favourite place over many years to chill on a sunny day. The roaches are just over the valley from the Cloud, probably Lud's Church is a 2/3 Miles walk from there, 3/4 Miles or so from the Bridestones. Lud's Church is great. Changes mood with the weather/season though, dramatically!
