シャックルフォード周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

1786年にオールド・ポーツマス・ロード沿いに建てられたセーラーズ・ストーンは、悪名高い地元の悲劇を記念する歴史的な境界標です。近くのパブで親しくなったばかりの3人の男によって、見知らぬ船乗りが残忍に殺害され強盗された正確な場所を示しています。この石には、犯罪を非難する厳格な聖書の碑文と、それを動かした者への有名な不吉な呪いが裏面に刻まれています。

1851年にウィリアム・アールル判事によって建てられたギベット・ヒルにある花崗岩のケルト十字は、悪霊に対する地元の恐怖を払拭するために建てられました。1787年に見知らぬ船員の残忍な殺人のために、3人の街道強盗が絞首刑にされ、鎖につながれて晒された悪名高い場所を示しています。

The most typical feature in the design of Celtic crosses is the circle connecting the horizontal and vertical bars. This is sometimes interpreted as a symbol of the sun; in this sense, Celtic crosses are sometimes also called sun crosses. I found the following meditative reflection on this topic while working as a chaplain in the Protestant deanery of Nassauer Land: "The sun cross is a special symbol of Celtic Christianity. It can become a symbol of spirituality. + What you can practice – the horizontal arm of the cross. Your conscious rituals, prayers, quiet moments. The attention you give to the sacred. + What happens to you – the vertical arm of the cross. Experiences that touch and transform you. Moments in which you sense something greater than yourself. + What gives you interpretation – the circle that encloses both. Words, stories, and traditions that help you understand and share these experiences. Spirituality connects you to sources of strength that reach deeper than what you can see. For me as a Christian, spirituality is a word for encountering the God who revealed himself in Jesus."

Big views which are rare in these parts!

Hello old railway station on the Downs Link... amazing to be able to ride alongside all these old stations isn't it?

The Sailor’s Stone actually has a curse written on the back of it cursing any man that would remove it.

This is the point where the local hangings used happen, including the three murderers of the unknown sailor. The persons hung would remain in their gibbets and chains here for three years.

If you get to the top of the hill early enough, you can enjoy beautiful views of the sunrise.
