Well spotted - a really nice composition there Gareth.

It's not ex-military land by any chance is it?

Nicely spotted Gareth.

All that's missing are some apes to be inspired by the monolith and build a spaceship

Thanks both. No, it used to be a quarry but now half the site is housing and the other side is a protected as a site of special scientific interest where orchids grow wild in the grass. As the quarry was for slate then there's a huge lump of it here as a reminder of what the area was once before.

It sounds like a good place to visit.
