Part of the route around the Maelmin Heritage Trail includes a section through woodland [more like a "shelter belt"] On the day we walked along here, there were a lot of fungal fruiting bodies peeking through the grass. [5 of 6] Another bunch of fungus ... for scale, the trainer is about 4" / 10cm across at the point of lowest lace. From the bark and needles I think the tree is a Scots Pine.

Replica Henge, constructed during 2000. The original carved posts were replaced recently. some information here - www.maelmin.org.uk

A large fruiting body from an unidentified fungus - growing in grass under coniferous trees (mostly Scots Pine or maybe Larch) in a "windbreak" plantation. [date : 6th August] There were a considerable number of other examples, all the others were smaller in diameter. For scale, the trainer to the bottom right is approximately 100mm / 10cm / 4" across, as measured just forward of where the lacing starts.

Very disappointed to find that some low-life toe-rag thief has removed the remembrance plaque from this stone. It listed the causalities lost from RAF Milfield during WW2. I know from another image that the plaque was stainless steel, not bronze, so the scrap value would have been fairly limited. I added a couple of white stones to the little "memorial" pile by the wreaths.

The "Standing Stone" used to mark the entrance to the heritage trail. info - www.maelmin.org.uk I think the design on the right is to represent the prehistoric "cup and ring" markings to be found in the general area, their purpose is unknown en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_and_ring_mark
