If you fancy getting #OutintheField, why not pick up a copy of Landmarks and Legends by Jo Woolf, a beautifully illustrated book which reveals the secrets and stories of fifty icons of Britain’s landscape, including Cheddar Gorge, Avebury, Uffington White Horse and Sutton Hoo.

Now that's what I call a garden feature #WantOne
Happy 180th birthday to "Southampton's grand old man", William Burrough Hill, who was born in April 1845 and lived to the age of 96. An auctioneer and surveyor by profession, in later years he was most famous for having a full-size model of a Stonehenge trilithon in his garden #StandingStoneSunday
