I've decided to add an extra dimension to my blog by blogging about the City (Norwich) and the County (Norfolk) where I live.
This doesn't mean I'm going to stop the usual mixed bag of football moaning, kid frustrations, music videos, humour and general opinion. It's just something else to throw into the mix. :o)
So, let's start with the Sea Henge. Yep, Sea Henge. Everyone in the civilised world has heard of Stonehenge, but have you heard of Sea Henge?
Discovered in 1998 emerging from a beach at Holme-next-the-Sea this 4000 year-old timber circle dates back to the bronze age.
It had beeen covered by a peat dune but Sea Henge became exposed when the dune was swept away by winter storms.
Unfortunately leaving it exposed would've caused Sea Henge to be destroyed by the sea, so it was moved to the King's Lynn Musuem.

that is one cool looking stone circle.
Hi Kerry - good to hear from you - yeah it was pretty cool, although it's actually wood rather than stone.
There are loads of ancient circles (mainly of the stone variety) in Britain, most of them come with their own band of Druids!
A quick google for stone circles will no doubt unearth some great websites with lists of the best ones to visit.
