Re: Your favourite 'significant landscape feat...

Seriously though, for neolithic landscapes I'm very predictable. I love standing outside West Kennet Long Barrow and looking across to Silbury Hill. When there aren't many people around its peaceful and inspiring. A very contemplative mood can come on, as I'm sure many experience, ...just what were these ancient people up to? Just when we read lots of reports and feel we're getting getting to grips with the past, we have only to stand here and the essential mystery comes flooding back...long may it do so.

I also have a thing about standing at high points and catching glimpses of distant hills behind other features, which makes them ripe for imagination about other untrod lands. Old Winchester Hillfort, Crooksbury Common in Surrey and, particularly, the Temple of the Winds at Blackdown in Surrey looking out across an apparently unspoilt Weald. I've asked Mrs Wild Wooder to scatter my ashes from there, when the time comes of course!
