Stanton Drew

With our  holiday coming to an end, we drove my daughter and her fiance to Bristol for their return train journey home. Making the most of our remaining time together, we visited a couple of surpise locations, starting with ancient stone circles of Stanton Drew:

As you can see, this site is huge and is the UK's second largest stone circle after Avebury. By the time my buttercup pollen drenched legs left the field, we had all built up a bit of a thirst and headed into the nearby pub for much-needed refreshments.

Heading to the pub carpark, we saw a sign for megalithic burial tomb, which is actually in the pub's beer garden:

With still a few hours to pass before my daughter's train, we decided to cool down a little with a visit the coast, passing the The Round House en route:

This Grade II listed building was build circa 1794 as was used as a toll house to collect fees from passing coachmen who used the roads during the time when turnpikes were in use.
