Lambourn Long Barrow

I liked it here although there wasn’t much to really see. You wouldn’t really know there was anything here at all if you hadn’t been forewarned. The barrow is where there’s a rough patch of ground (awash with lovely pyramidal orchids at the moment) and across some confusing lumps in the edge of the wood. So it’s hard to understand what’s what. I was totally taken though with the huge flattish stone lurking under one of the trees, I was very pleased to spot that, I had to give it a pat. Perhaps others would be easier to find at another time of year when there’s fewer leaves about. Also it didn’t help that the sun was extremely hot and I was starting to feel a bit odd. Fortunately it’s only a short flat jaunt back to the road (there’s masses of space where you can park your car).
