First up was very nearly sunkenkirk but its twin further north, Castlerigg wins my heart everytime. I love it there even with 50 tourists chattering loudly, cos at sunrise in the summer when you can get 2 hours alone as the sun rises out of the mist, this site and its settings are frankly magical.

Second was hard, so many sites, so many beauties, but again the flirty show sites turn my eye every time so I'd have to go for Callanais. I'd give this to the whole of Lewis and all the amazing sites and views there, but if I had to pick one of them its Callanish 1.

Last up is a site I've played and walked on since I was a kid running down its banks, Maiden Castle, nr Dorchester. Its got a Bank barrow, Causwayed Enclosure, Long barrow, Round barrows, a monster hill fort and great views. This place sums up all the beauty in Dorset to me.
