    Default Nelson's battlefield: Google Earth finds the forgotten ....

    I found this article on the web:

    Nelson's battlefield: Google Earth finds the forgotten clumps of trees planted as a living map to commemorate Admiral's victory at Battle of the Nile:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ttle-Nile.html

    A nice way to commemorate the Admiral's victory

    I know it! I have been there 3 years ago - I found a geocache about Nelson near the road, but I did not understand why is a geocache about navy so far from the sea... This place is only few miles from Stonehenge and from Salisbury. Thank you very much Attilio, this is great find for me!

    Thank you Attilio. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been to Stonehenge yet. Now I have two reasons to go.
