The Dragon Trail

A journey in Wessex

In the 80's, when recovering from a spinal operation, Rosemary started a project which was to continue for the next 25 years. The prehistoric sites roughly between Badbury Rings in Dorset and Stonehenge in Wiltshire were researched and an imaginary geomantic dragon laid out on the landscape, linking all the long and round barrows with henges and hill forts. A series of watercolour and ink illustrations were produced, with dragons representing earth energy at the major sites and wild flowers and plants recorded.
