I need your help.
I'm building up a resource of places to visit whilst out on my campervan camino travels around the British Isles.
I'm looking for places that have impacted you in one way or another. I'm seeking places that are special or hidden gems, or have a secret to tell. Places that might hold or harbour an artefact or a story. They don't necessarily have to be sacred or in the countryside.
Leave your suggestions in the comments below, or drop me a line, and tell me why it's special to you. I'll add it to the list below and try and make a visit.
The Bucket List.
From @gardengirllucy
Bradgate Park in Leceistershire
From Darren M Jones: St. John the Baptist, Kirk Hammerton, Yorkshire - Anglo-Saxon Tower.

From Jenny: St. Cynog, Deffynog, Wales - Roman artefacts, ancient yew tree over 500 years old.
Has a sense of ancient wales like the church at Defynnog and its yews looking west up the long valley edge of the beacons...

From Mick Green:
St Winifred's (Gwytherin), Gwytherin Parish Church, Wales - standing stones and ancient yews.
St Digain’s, Llangernyw, Wales - ancient yew tree
St. Melangell, Powys, Wales - four ancient yews and a Romanesque shrine
From Robert: St. Mary's Southwick, Northamptonshire - sculpture
What a fabulous idea. Thank you, Andy.

A suggestion: do add St Mary's Church, Southwick near #Oundle.
This tiny medieval parish church contains the most exquisite sculpture by Roubiliac, perhaps the most influential sculptor working in C18th Britain.@SouthwickParish pic.twitter.com/FZta7bXIsP
