We're better known for our 'Swinging Weather Stones' down here in Cornwall LS. Most country houses have them and they have never been known to fail. http://www.flickr.com/photos/treehouse1977/6090079129/ I'll get my coat :-)

Not a blog more a research paper into the above subject with Avebury being part of the research. A different interpretation of how we 'approach' history through memory.... scroll down about one-third for Avebury bit.... http://kodu.ut.ee/~cect/teoreetilised%20seminarid_2010/etnoloogia_uurimisr%C3%BChma_seminar/Harvey-The_History_of_Heritage.pdf "as Morris and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) that a concern for preservation (as opposed to restoration or ‘reconstitution’) comes. This tacit regard for absolute authenticity in one form or another has, in many respects, become one of the main touchstones (and some would say, red herrings) in heritage discussion ever since – and one which viewing heritage as a present-centred process in whatever age seeks to bypass (see, for instance, Harvey, 2001; Hewison, 1987). It is perhaps ironic that many modern conservation lobbies and societies inherited William Morris’s ideals of artefactual authenticity without his distinct dislike of many of the (Georgian and Victorian) artefacts and buildings that they now seek to conserve. Indeed, the invocation of absolute artefactual authenticity is more usually associated with conservative and reactionary social attitudes."

That whole volume is worth reading, there is a copy online: Ashgate Research Companion to Heritage and Identity (2008).

Haven't tried the caves and waterfalls yet Rhiannon, but when I put my post code in, came up with sites on a map but then you have to buy a subscription for information......

Isle of Albion. An excellent site that invites you to, "...look for the paths trod by our ancestors, for they lead to ancient places - places where the stones have stories for those with an ear to listen."
