Magnificent dry stone walling technique

The jigsaw nature of a wide range of stone sizes, all with a flat outside surface, the high ratio of surface area to spaces. Pure artistry.

Quite abundant and clear. Didn't taste it.

Routin Lynn, ancient rock art

Cup and ring marked rocks abound in Northumberland. Routin (Roughtin) Lynn has some of the best examples. A must see.

Doddington North Moor.

Moorland gradually turning to rhododendron infested birchwood. It was once cattle grazed judging by the barbed wire protecting the dyke on the woodland boundary, but is probably just used for sporting purposes now. This is included as access land under the CRoW act, which given the irritating omission of woodland is a bit of a bonus.
