I do like the term "Sacred Landscape" but avoid using the word "sacred" otherwise. Sacred and numinous are inescapably linked with deities and religion. I am more comfortable with "spiritual" and that is what I feel on rare occasions at certain sites. I cannot explain that tingly feeling that sometimes also comes when I listen to certain music. If you consult a good dictionary for "spirit" you will see that there are many interpretations and it is by no means limited to religion, the soul or any of that stuff. So the term "spirit of place" is the one that I use when that tingle touches me. Where it comes from and why - I just don't know - but it does.
