Walking the Great North Line
Robert Twigger, poet and travel author, was in search of a new way up England when he stumbled across the Great North Line. A single dead straight line following 1 degree 50 West up Britain. From Christchurch on the South Coast to Old Sarum to Stonehenge, to Avebury, to Notgrove barrow, to Meon Hill in the midlands, to Thor's Cave, to Arbor Low stone circle, to Mam Tor, to Ilkley in Yorkshire and its three stone circles and the Swastika Stone, to several forts and camps in Northumberland to Lindisfarne (plus about thirty more sites en route).
Twigger walks the line, which takes him through Birmingham, Halifax and Consett as well as Salisbury Plain, the Peak district, and the Yorkshire moors. No other north-south straight line goes through so many ancient sites of such significance.Was it just a suggestive coincidence or were they built intentionally? With a planning schedule
