Autumn Equinox 2016
Another find close to home! First we went for a bite to eat at a place we call Windy Ridge, years ago there had been a cafe there where Raye and her dad had often passed there in the lorry. Later we often visited ourselves when it became a Little Chef!
Doubling back and heading towards Stoke, turning left to a village called Stanton and just before on the right was a nature reserve called Thorswood. The trail around has been set out especially for children and within the boundaries are three round barrows, burial mounds.
While checking these I did find a few leylines but initially thought there was a lot more (some has grids above them).
When we got back to the start and checked the map for the children we realised that the other mounds were actual entranced to old mines!
A very interesting place, mixing old (neolithic mounds) with new mounds (17th century mines).
Did the mines go under the burial mounds? Further investigation is needed.
