Hello Bgs6-ga Like the other researchers here I have had no success in finding a "heaven's bridge" in Wiltshire but there are many articles documenting "heaven's gate". ://www.google.com/search?q=%22heavens+gate%22+wiltshire ://www.google.com/search?q=%22heaven's+gate%22+wiltshire Heaven's Gate is located on and about the Longleat Estate owned by Lord Bath, to discover more about the estate you can visit their website at http://www.longleat.co.uk The hillside surrounding the estate is often referred to as "Heaven's Gate" by the locals but in 2001 Lord Bath erected a monument on the top of the hill. The Heaven's Gate monument was his answer to Stone Henge, it comprises nine 15-foot stones and a ring-shaped `gateway' made of 13 smaller stones. The press release and further information on the stones can be read here: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/1968 http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/wiltshire/archive/2001/06/15/warm_news_local30ZM.html I have tried to locate some official photographs of the monument but I have been unsuccessful in my search, I have though managed to locate a couple of tourist photos of the site which show the stones in some detail: http://www.countrified.btinternet.co.uk/heavensgate.htm http://www.technohippy.org.uk/photos/places/longleat/longleat16.htm If you require any further assistance on this subject please ask for clarification and I will do my best to respond swiftly. |
