The ruined and deserted site of the earliest settlement of Salisbury, old Sarum, with the powerful backdrop of Salisbury Cathedral keeping eternal watch. I took this as the book cover for "Tales of Two Cities" by @AlexJLanglands, link here: amazon.co.uk/Tales-Two-Citi…

Wayland's Smithy, looking due West. I am looking forward to re-shooting this once the leaves have all gone.

The eastern entrance (common to IA hillforts I believe) of Old Winchester Hill above the South Downs Way in Hampshire. Certainly a place that I wish to spend more time in the future.

Old Winchester Hill, looking east towards Butser Hill and the Meon Valley. The Bronze Age barrows stand out beautifully in the foreground — the colours of the surrounding fields were stunning today. 🌾🍂 #SouthDowns #Hampshire #LandscapePhotography

Thank you so much Jeanie. It was 3 hours to climb up and we took 4 hours to descend (stopping for scenery breaks). Never really had animal issues though I have been wary of nearby horses on Dartmoor before.
