Venue

A 'cemetery' of 44 Bronze Age burial mounds of varying types and sizes, straddling the A35 main road.

The motorist driving along the A35 has scarcely a moment to take in this group of barrows, or burial mounds, straddling the road west of Winterbourne Abbas. These belong to one of several Bronze Age cemeteries in the area, which has the highest density of Bronze Age barrows anywhere in the world.

In this particular cemetery alone there are 44 barrows, dating from about 1500 BC.

Roofed and walled in stone, this complex of passages is the largest and best-preserved of several mysterious underground tunnels associated with Cornish Iron Age settlements. The purpose of such 'fogous' - a Cornish-language word meaning 'cave' - is unknown. Refuges, storage chambers or ritual shrines have all been suggested.

Managed by The Trelowarren Estate. Free entry to the fogou. Entry to the rest of the estate is charged.

Small roofless chapel, established early in the twelfth century.

This is an unstaffed open site, so there's no booking required!

Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. Regarded as one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United Kingdom, it is one of the most important Grade 1 listed buildings in England. The building was designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse and was completed in 1877. It contains many grand ceremonial rooms, such as the Great Hall, which is decorated with murals by Ford Madox Brown that illustrate the history of the city.
