A Layman Tracking The Leys
Fascinated by an unusual stone that was known to be a leyline marker, outside a Norfolk church near where he lived, John Timpson set off to investigate known leylines and to discover lines of his own. Like most people he was unsure of exactly what a leyline was, and he found there were numerous theories behind these mystical lines. Some believe they are prehistoric tracks linking ancient meeting places and sacred sites, others that they are invisible energy currents passing through the earth. The New Age approach links leylines to mysterious happenings, including landing sits for UFOs, while in recent years the lines have been linked to German ghost paths, Irish fairy trails and Chinese Feng Shui.
Despite all the different theories, what is clear is that there are a considerable number of ancient and unusual sites - from prehistoric tumuli, hill forts and barrows to medieval castles and churches - that are connected by straight lines . . .
