Place that makes you go wooo....That would be on the bench outside the Nelson pub in Southwold, pint of Broadside in hand, North sea to ones left, drifting smell of Adnams brewery to the right....
Places that make you go Whoooooooooooooooooooh - 1man1desk - 5th July 2007
I share one or two of BAJR Host's faves, and I was lucky enough to spend a month surveying earthworks at Bodiam many years ago. I also go 'whooo' when I visit (or just look at pictures of) any of the following:
http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/malta/
http://www.prehistoric.org.uk/lewis/callanish.html
Also Dun Carloway in Lewis, and Jarlshof, Old Scatness, Clickhimin and a number of other sites in Shetland.
I think the most excited I have ever got about archaeology was when visiting the temples in Malta, because they were completely unknown to me beforehand, and they are truly fantastic.

Pentre Ifan and Castell Henllys - mainly beause they were among the first monuments I visited when I was first becoming interested. First cut is the deepest etc.
But Orkney is my woooshiest place. Amazing place. Stenness, Brodgar, Skara Brae obviously but also numerous chambered tombs and brochs.
I'm off to Perth and Kinross next week. The monument in question is not upstanding, but the scenery is breathtaking!
You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Orkneys are wonderful, but the Isle of Lewis was just amazing amazing stone circles and the beautiful rugged landscape and some glorious beaches.,
May god go with you in all the dark places you must walk.

The field systems of West Penwith - 4000-ish years old and still in use.
Dartmoor
Places that make you go Whoooooooooooooooooooh - Steve-B - 6th July 2007
My favourite spot is on the fields I detect on just south of Chichester especially on an Autumn morning.
Looking over the tree tops the spire of Chichester cathedral rises through the mist, with the Trundle sitting on the top of the southdowns..
Theres not much evidence of modern life from this spot.
It is almost a timeless scene and worth being there just for the view.

just like the BAJR Host, Fountains abbey, i was lucky enough to have spent 8 years working on the building and got to see the places the public never saw, as for Stone's its got to be Castlerigg on the solstice morning as an amazing thing happens with the hills in relation to where the suns rises. :-)
