The walk continues towards Wint Hill and the east side of Banwell where the 18th.c. Castle stands at a road junction The other side of this road lies Banwell Wood & Hillfort which I get to explore on another day.Today I  concentrate on Banwell Hill  circling the the wooded area--discovering Beard's Stone as will be shown in the next video. The weather is ok--no rain, a bit breezy at times but good for exploring the area---The walk this day helps to consolidate a walk I did in late June when I first found the  Bone Caves and Druids Temple and where I managed to walk around the wood---Since then I have walked up thru to the Tower and gazebo and taken loads of images---Banwell is so full of history and mystery, legends and myths of devils and black beasts, hidden caves and tunnels , nunneries and monasteries and  all the way back to King Alfred the Great, the Romans and much further to the Neolithic times--to the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages---and with a powerful carboniferous plateau--the Hill-fort......Past civilizations were here with their own cultures and history---you can feel the presence of the past here.....Definitely a place of discovery, history, geology, archaeology---a small place but big in Time & Space....
