Another page from this excellent little Web site. As usual, a selection of good photos (taken in sunny weather!?) and directions to the Eglwys Gwyddelod.

This page has a QVTR panorama of the site on, so you can get a good idea of the lie of the land around Eglwys Gwyddelod. The track was in a much worse state when we visited than it is in the panorama!

This is a site by a dowser, about dowsing. Although I’m a bit sceptical about the author’s findings (from a purely personal point of view) the page contains some good photos and a plan of the site.

The page is rather large, so expect a slow download if you’re using a modem.

The photograph on this page shows the inscription clearly.

Nice little site that includes information about the books available from Men-an-tol Studio, including all of Ian McNeil Cooke’s books, and reprints of two 19th century antiquarian books, ‘Illustrations Of Stone Circles, Cromlehs and other remains of the Aboriginal Britons in the West of Cornwall’ by William Cotton (1827), and ‘Specimens Of Ancient Cornish Crosses, Fonts, Etc’ by F.C.Hingston (1850). Includes an order form for publications and details of how to order over the phone.

A very brief description and a photo of the site are mixed in with a general history of the Ramsbottom area on this webpage.

Home to Devon Books, who publish Jeremy Butler’s monumental 5 volume ‘Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities’. Also home to Cornwall Books who have published local classics such as Craig Weatherhill two field guides – ‘Belerion: Ancient Sites of Land’s End’ – 1981, and ‘Cornovia: Ancient Sites of Cornwall and Scilly’ – 1985, revised 1997 & 2000. Couldn’t see those two for sale though. Free Postage and packing on internet orders.

A picture of this site.

Everything you ever wanted to know about those darned TV masts... oh, and it mentions the cairns and the Rivington Pike beacon fires.

A Web site belonging to Charles Tait who I’m assuming is a professional photographer. This page has a good photo of the Watchstone on it, and if you’re in a mood for browsing there are a few other photos worth looking at on the same site.

Home of the Ice Age hunter.

Another page from this great Web site, with some excellent old photographs of the Stennes stones.

The trees on top of the barrow were/are known locally as the ‘Seven Sisters’. This is the website of ‘The Friends of Copt Hill’ community group.

This Web page is largely about the castle, but it includes photos of the cave, and the passage leading to it. Don’t be alarmed if you find that some images on this page are obscured by text. The page isn’t very well glued together!
