Spiritual Places to Visit in the U.K.?

[TelosianEmbrace]

Hi all! My partner is travelling to the U.K. with a girlfriend for a few weeks. Both are working psychics. They will be visiting Ireland, Scotland and England and will have a hire car or use of a friend's car for most of the time. They are looking to connect with the people and the land. A highlight will be that they will be walking Hadrian's Wall for eight days.

Are there any places that you could recommend for them to visit, spiritual places of high vibration? We already know about Stonehenge, thank you!:faint:

I actually had a dream and on awakening The Book of Kells was stuck in my consciousness. The Blarney Stone has also been mentioned.

I've always enjoyed the snake temple at Avebury (Wiltshire) and crop circle country. The Ridgeway path from Avebury up to the white horse at Uffington (look up at the sky and clouds to see the real white horse/Dragon) is fascinating for many reasons (if your a meditating or prayer kind of person there are dreams to be had)

Also lydford gorge in Dartmoor has a high vibration and if you have the time and resources the st Michael/ st Mary lay lines are fascinating filled with many Neolithic sites, stone circles and curiousities.

But If you don't want to come so far south the highest vibrational place in England is the lake district. And one of my favourite places there is Aira force by Ullswater (lake) and Wastwater (lake) but you won't be able to get transport there as it's too remote although there is a tour that stops off there.
Happy trails.

The West country. There's many spiritual places in Wiltshire, Cornwall and beyond. Avebury is more interesting than Stonehenge, like raff said.

Then there's Glastonbury Tor. The Scottish Highlands and Ireland are also filled with magic.

Yes love to visit Ireland a fascinating country and the Guinness is excellent apparently.
If you do go down to Cornwall and Devon the merry maidens stone circle and boscawen un (not sure I spelt that correctly.)
Some of these places I've mentioned and surrounding sites are shrines that is they have Spirits located there. Taking a digital camera can be fascinating too as the pics can be mouth opening.

When they come to Cumbria and the Scottish borders a few places to consider looking at may be

Castlerigg stone circle. Neolithic/ Bronze age which is in the lake district national park near Keswick.

Aira Force waterfall , ullswater

Talkin Tarn near Brampton.

lanercost priory near hadrians wall

Banna (Birdoswald) Roman fort part of hadrians wall.
Also a part of the wall called Steel Rigg and Sycamore Gap which was in the kevin Costner film
Robin Hood prince of Theives.

Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Monastery located at Eskdalemuir in the Scottish borders
and St Marys Loch in the Scottish borders.

they all have amazing views and further up Scotland make sure to visit a small fishing town called Oban
and also The Isle of Skye.
spoiled for choice in Scotland
Look them up on tinternet for directions there are loads more .
hope they have a good time and the weather stays nice

Hadrian's Wall is my neck of the woods. There's rumoured to be a stone carved with a sanskrit swastika though I've personally never seen it, somewhere at the Steel Rigg section. At Chesters, nr Chollerford, there is a stone laid in the floor with a clear phallic symbol.

North to Rothbury and thence out to Harbottle I think the Drake Stone would be worth a visit. A lot of history attached to that with Druidic connections and reputed healing powers.

In Scotland, quite a trip to the Isle of Arran but the standing stones at Machrie Moor are ancient and mentioned by Freddy Silva in The Legacy of the Gods book.

Incidentally, I would suggest being there early or late, it is a highly visited spot and personally speaking I think these places are best approached in silence and without distractions.

Further north on the mainland is Kilmartin Glen, (just 30 miles south of the above mentioned Oban - and for a hint of what Oban might have looked like 50 years ago visit Tarbert on the way to Arran), a great place filled with ancient Scottish history and dozens of historical stone monuments.

Wales is also full of mystery and energies but I'm not qualified to recommend any particular spot.

(I'll be doing a post about Kilmartin when I get round to it as I just returned from there).

I would try to make my way up to the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. I have always wanted to visit Rosslyn Chapel but I keep getting stuck in pubs along the way.

[angelfire]

Rosslyn Chapel, definitely and if they can make it to the Isle of Skye they'll discover much ancient magic. There is also the Callanish Stone Circle on the Isle of Lewis.

Happy Travels!

Thank you all very, very much for your heartfelt suggestions. My partner and I have read through them, and some we are really connecting with. One in particular is the Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Monastery. With this suggestion the Monastery has been moved back to primary importance, where it was when the trip was first being planned. I didn't say this in the OP, but my partner identifies herself as a Buddhist. She was a live-in at a centre here in Australia for some time, and lived in very close contact with a rinpoche of the Kagyu lineage. She taught him English, and chauffeured him around. They still keep in contact. So other Buddhist suggestions are welcome.

Crop circles are a possibility as well. The season runs into September, am I correct? Is there any advice, or is the process of visiting a newly formed crop circle a more serendipitous one? I'm guessing the Barge Inn would make a worthwhile visit?

Once again some great suggestions, and I will continue to go through them one at a time.

Visit cropcircleconnector.com for the most recent crop circle discoveries.
London has a few Buddhist enclaves one that I know of is the jamyang centre (a converted court house) with Geshe Tashi (just Google Jamyang for location and info)
Also make sure you get the B and B booklet for the Hadrians wall walk as there are some lovely accommodations along the way.

Someone else beat me to it--- Glastonbury Tor -- but also the ruins of the Abbey where king Arthur is supposed to be buried. Glastonbury is a favourite site mentioned as Camelot, and there is also the Glastonbury Thorn (though I think some 'person' damaged it recently). It was supposed to have been planted by Joseph of Aramathea(s). Glastonbury is near many places of legend such as Maiden Castle, and the various chalk figures dug into the green hills. It is also close to Stonehenge.

I am not a spiritual person, but that region is spectacular for the atmosphere of ancient rites and the people who lived there.

Also-- find the Ley Lines and follow them. Fascinating!

If the trip goes to Glastonbury do not forget to visit Chalice Well.

Tintagel (in Cornwall) is also a visit worth !

Another Buddhist temple to have a look at is
Throssel Hole Buddhist centre in Northumberland.

Also while in Northumberland take a trip to the holy island of Lindisfarne
or just called holy island.
it is a tidal island so you will need to find out the times of the tides to get there
and also to not get stuck there.
I am not sure about it being spiritual but its just a bit of fun getting there for a look around.
