i watched a very interesting program on Stonehenge tonight (a place i'd like to visit) and they mentioned another famous monument in Britian. in the south of englad they said....it's a cave called the Devil's Arse....because when the wind blows throught it ....well it makes a CERTAIN noise....
has anyone been there/heard of it?
sounds pretty funny/interesting! =0)

hehe! i've never heard of that! do you know which county it's in? i've visited the stonehenge area, and a few standing stones/sacred sites, and i've invoked a few hoary beasts to do my bidding - no biggie --

thats an odd thing though...
wouldnt a farting (vibrating) sound have to be made from something flexible to get that effect?
if its stone.. i dont see how that would happen?

stonehenge has been officially denied by the government -- if anyone not wearing a suit attempts to approach they are frizzlefrazzled and sent to live in a styrophoam penal colony :(

hahahah
i was surprised by how close they let people get .... there was a huge summer solstice celebration with lots of peeps.
i wondered how much security surrounded the monument, etc. because they didn't mention it. perhaps it's part of the government cover-up!
don't put on a suit dood! =0)

the name Devil's Arse comes from the "farting" noise made when water which has built up in the cavern drains away.

I used to live quite close to stonehenge so I know it quite well. Not a lot of people know that it was completely dismantled in the 60's, cleaned and replaced. They've also found over 600 skeletons on the site. There's also two other major circles within 10kms of stonehenge: woodhenge and avebury. My local pub was in the middle of avebury's stone circle. Better beer that way.

Avebury is a beautiful place; we always made a point of visiting their on the way back from Glastonbury (it's just down the road...the 303!!!).....
I'm so jealous you lived there...(I agree on the beer...I can still remember having a pint, whilst sitting in the amoungst the stones...)...
The security at Stonehenge has got a lot freer nowdays...there was a infamous mini-riot there one year between hippies/travllers/etc & the police...known as the battle of the beanfield...
Even 6 or 7 years ago, it was still real strict and they had security guards who'd appear from now-where if you got near the actual stones...We did all manage to touch em tho, 3 guards vs 7 people made it easy....and you gotta give StoneHenge a hug!!!...
This year, they opened it up a lot more and even allowed ceremonies on the solstice & it was very very cool...no trouble at all...
Can't think of the Cave you're after tho...bit of a mystery...I've been to the Devils Punchbowl which is a very weird waterfall, rock formation thing...

In a ultra-weird bit of spooky syncronicity, I've just had a call from someone who's been to Stonehendge today...
and apparently the Security gaurds are still there and you still arn't allowed to get too or touch the stones....you can't even stand in the middle of em..:(...

Dood.....thanks for the site.....it's fantastic!!! i found several really good sites but this is a NEW one. so thanks =0)
jand......yea i was afraid of that! i am surprised the USED to let people touch and be around the rocks, because it's a natural monument. tis a bummer tho, i'd like to be able to reach out and touch the rocks....being so old and such.
the program also mentioned the skellies as well, perhaps human sacrifice but i suspect they can't prove anything at this point.
