PLACES OF ANCIENT WORSHIP

Britain and Ireland are also home to an impressive array of spiritual and
mystical sites. From well known locations, such as Stonehenge and Newgrange, to
holy wells and ancient burial chambers that were once thought to be portals to a
hidden world.

There are pre-historic stone circles, whose true purpose may never be fully
understood; strange figures and white horses carved into chalk hillsides for
reasons we can now only guess at.

There are brooding mountains, the mist-shrouded heights of which are said to be
the abodes of native Gods and Goddesses; and secluded, picturesque churches and
chapels, inside which long ago saints and holymen once knelt in peaceful
contemplation.
