Ailsa has chosen ‘Wild’ as her travel theme this week and I’ve chosen Scorhill as my wild destination. The drive up the hill is only around three miles from a little town but it’s steep, narrow and the Devon banks are high some of the way. If you’re lucky and get one of the half dozen parking places then you can walk a little higher before dropping into the valley. At the bottom lies the stone circle in my photo – I’ve never managed to find a way of capturing it so that it looks like a circle I’m afraid. The cirlce is believed to be Bronze age, making it up to four thousand years old but artitacts from eight thousand years ago have been found there.
I hope Scorhill is wild enough for you, but there will be wilder here !http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/08/02/travel-theme-wild/

no, Scorhill is perfect for me Gilly … I love the soft browns, rough grasses and ancient leaning stones …
This is the perfect wild place, Gilly. Reminds me of the heaths in Wuthering Heights, which are very wild and passionate. 🙂
I love thinking of this isolated and windswept valley as a meeting place for people for thousands of years.
This looks like you would have to be hanging over the site in a helicopter of something like that Anyway, I like this picture because of its possibilities.
That must have been a wild walk indeed Gilly! 😉
Great shot and entry for the challenge hon. *hugs*
That makes this older than the Pyramids! How does it feel to stand in the exact center I wonder?
I think it just perfect Gilly…what a wonderful place…all that marvelous history attached ot it
I love old sites like this, with echoes of human use stretching back thousands of years, and multiple generations :-
austere and beautiful~
