Arbor Low

Arbor Low is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Britain. Called the 'Stone Henge of the North', it is a 4,500 year old stone circle surrounded by a raised wall and terrific views of the surrounding countryside. The stones themselves are not much to look at (Heather's parents would disagree) but the site evoked a quiet sense of timelesness, weighted down by an incredible history of human activity. Here an elderly British couple peered down into the circle of stones as we walked away.
