Did you know that there are more than 150 hillforts, hilltop and hillslope enclosures recorded on land cared for by the National Trust?
They're amazing archaeological sites, but also real havens for nature. 🧵

Find it..... stick it on my shelf mate.
"I've never sold a single item & I've found thousands of coins."
'he keeps his finds carefully arranged in a display cabinet at his home.'
...that's just one #detectorist.
Multiply that by perhaps 40,000 people - that's an awful lot of artefacts.

This is an awesome video
There’s diesel engines, there’s heritage railways, there’s Rebecca, There’s me, there’s Geoff, there’s a councillor called Chris.
But most importantly, there’s a vision. A project that could connect communities and improve lives, which is what the railways are all about.
