The Longstone of Mottistone

The five barrows near the needles

And i thought the Addle stone was on the isle of white but I cant find owt about it so I'm probably mistaken.

There are many barrow cemetaries around as well, but no burial chambers no stone circles or very much of any thing else.

On a non megalithic note Shanklin chine is a very nice place, especially in the rain, I know, strange, but that's rivers and waterfalls for you.

I think Postie's pretty much got it. Mottistone's the main one. Where abouts are you staying?

Thanks for the recommendations, better get planning my route and working on my best powers of persuasion with Mrs Geordio that we really need to stop by there.

You can see the Isle of Wight from the Agglestone on sandbanks?
