In search of the Twelve Appostles. This is a place haunted by stories of ghostly black hounds,alien abductions and balls of light. In one of Englands oldest landscapes there are some strange stories to be told.
Fabulous...shame on the authorities for gross neglect of such an ancient, sacred place...and I wonder what happened to the center stone? This monolith should be protected and given its due and rightful recognition just as they have done for many others scattered over Britain and Ireland.
Hi Mark - If you wanna know the real history, folklore & archaeology of Ilkley Moor and district, you should check this out 'The Northern Antiquarian' - and if there's owt you wanna know about that entire upland region, ask the fella. It's in his very bones!
There are lizards on the moor; near Boroughbridge,home of the Devil's Arrows are (n)adders.Also is All Parish Church,the 3 stones,the plaque to the Goddess Verbeia, the Saxon Cross and the replica.Outside is the remains of a Roman Garison,the Lingones from France, where a similar plaque to V. has been found near Dijon.The Wharfe('to turn') and Cock Rivers, sacred to the great Goddess Brigid from Elmet's involvement in Towton,the bloodiest Battle to be fought on British soil,are also there.Great!
