This small, rural village, nine miles from Bristol, clusters around some nationally important archeology dating to over 4,000 years ago. Three stone circles seem to make a series of alignments with a number of outlying standing stones, but their purpose is a mystery. Apart from the two smaller circles there is also a megalithic "cove" which is located in the garden of the local pub, the Druid Arms - a lovely place for a pint. A straight line drawn from the cove, through the centre of the large circle, hits the centre of one of the smaller circles. Remains of a substantial wooden structure have recently been found, making the complex much larger and more significant than already thought! The stone circles lie on private land - seek permission from the landowner before entering.
