Mên An Tol in Penwith, Cornwall. A psychogeographic wander over stile, through stone, across muddy moorland and around Ding Dong tin mine.

A short pilgrimage after the storm, the skies were bright and the land serene. This is Mên-an-Tol, Cornish for the stone with a hole. #mênantol #menantol #stone #psychogeography #hauntology #stoneclub #cornwall #penwith #polaroid #analogue #walking #ancientsites #ancientsitescornwall

Wes Anderson at the design museum is magical

The oak tree I’ve been sitting beneath for fifteen years has been fenced in. Walkers fenced out. Sigh …

Unseen 7 - The Lore of the Longstone is out now and we have badges and postcards! I’ll pop one in with online orders. This issue of Unseen is all about a wander in search of this Neolithic monument.

Okay. This is angering me. First of all, “MAN”!? We’re not in the nineteenth century FFS. There’s a better word and it is “Humans”. And secondly - who the f£&k thought HUMANS only learned to control fire 50,000 years ago???!!! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Unseen Zine number 7 is out now … it’s all about the Isle of Wight! The Longstone is a pair of Neolithic portal stones one still standing tall and one on its side. Find out about The Lore of the Longstone in Unseen 7 … link in bio x

I am deep diving into chalk; the soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock that my county is built upon. My hyper focus is strong on this one! Eric Ravilious, Chalk Paths is pictured below; and a poem from Patti Smith; “Paths that cross Will cross again.”

Roses at 10pm, the days are long and hot

21st Century Stone Circle with a Men-an-Tôl vibe (fun fact, my Dad hoofed a football through the hole from quite a distance … twice in a row! He’s 81 but still got it!) #stonecircle #stoneclub

Watched Robert Altman’s 3 Women last night, Shelley Duvall is incredible in it. I just love these bold, simple yet complex female characters

Sunrise from the Trundle, chalky pathways circle this causewayed enclosure atop St. Roche’s Hill. Views of the Weald to the north and coastal plain to the south. Sunrise and sunset looks good from up here.

Summer Solstice greetings … I’ve been up for a walk up on the Trundle this morning and put together a brand new piece for my Substack. Mapping my walk in words and pictures with reflections on the history and archaeology of this ancient site. Link in bio to read

Druid Philip Carr Gomm in Unseen Zine 3 “ … traditionally we have seen religions and spirituality as a means of attaining personal salvation or enlightenment, what Druidry and other earth-based religions do is they include everyone else.“ cont’d in comments …

Virgin Mary’s Spring, Petworth. A pilgrimage for Max, one of our warmest and brightest lights.

The meanders at Cuckmere Haven. This part of Cuckmere River is actually an oxbow lake; it’s where the mouth of the river meets the sea. The Victorians artificially straightened the river in an attempt to reduce tidal flooding of the land.

Chalk ramparts at the Trundle, a Neolithic Causewayed enclosure and a high point in West Sussex. Sussex is built on porous chalk. Barrows and banks would shone bright white thousands of years ago. #landscape #landscapephotography #neolithic #chalk #archaeology #photographer #photography

Cheddar Gorge looking gorge … what a cliff face!

Silbury Hill would have been a glowing chalk white beacon back in Neolithic times. The largest artificial mound in Europe its purpose and significance is mysterious. Built around 2400 BCE it could have been a marker to pilgrims making their way to Avebury for ceremony and ritual? #neolithic
