Potterne Crop Circle added to Everything Else in South West by clinkadink on 14/06/2023

Parking & TOAL: 51.331328, -2.003097

Just outside Potterne, a large crop circle has been made.

Potterne lies to the south of Devizes on the A360 road to Amesbury and Salisbury. The village is on Gault and Upper Greensand, between the chalk of the Marlborough Downs and Salisbury Plain. Part of the eastern edge of the parish is on Oxford and Kimmeridge clays. There are two streams in the parish, one in the north flowing eastwards, and one in the south flowing southwards and then eastwards. Little Tree on One Tree (Little Tree) Hill is said to have been planted to commemorate the battle of Waterloo (1815) at the top of Potterne Field, at 145 metres above sea level. It is a place remembered by Potterne 'Lambs' wherever they may be. Potterne people are known as 'Lambs' because of their boisterous and unruly behaviour in the 19th century.

The name Potterne is generally taken to mean 'the building for pots, or where pots were made'. It has been suggested that it could also refer to the 10th century font in the baptistery connected to the Saxon church. This would have been used for people from a large area around Potterne. The community here was important for two or three centuries before Devizes was established.

Marsh Road Spalding (By Sammie99)

Drive as far down Marsh Road as you can. There are two concrete areas either side of the road which provide handy parking, watch out for the power lines over head. I don't know what this building's function is or was, I just thought it looked interesting.

Victoria Park, Haywards Heath (By grandad1950)

I didn't expect the fair to be there but it makes a good image.

The park is used for many events throughout the year and gives good views across the town.

Braemar, Highland Scotland (By AlbionDrones)

The small town/village of Braemar, bisected by the Vlune Water, and nestled in the Cairngorm.

Sdly it as extremely windy on ou visit, so I only managed a short flight, but the river is stunning, there are plenty of historic buildings, and being surrounded by woodland and mountains - with a Caastle in the distance it makes for a fine subject...

There are good car parking options, a few decent shops to look around and several TOAL options, marked on the map, feel free to ad other markers as you find them...

Dalnaglar Castle, Glen Shee (By AlbionDrones)

A stunning Baronial Castle glimpsed from the roadside.

Park up in the car park for the Clach na Coileach, and you can see the castle at about 500m away, behind some trees. Best approach would be to fly a little down the glen, then turn and fly up to the castle, with it being visible rather than being hidden by trees, but as can be seen I was chancing the mizzly weather, so wanted to keep the flight time to an absolute minimum...
