Other Landscape Zodiacs
Despite scientific scepticism, further zodiacs have been "discovered" in Britain in following years including:
- Kingston upon Thames Zodiac
- The Lizard Zodiac, Cornwall
- Bodmin Moor Zodiac
- The Pumpsaint Zodiac
- Nuthampstead Terrestrial Zodiac
- The Sheffield Zodiac, South Yorkshire
There is rarely a strong scientific case for these discoveries. Their nebulous existence is in many ways similar to urban myths, ufology, or ley lines. They seem to play a part in personal belief systems, possibly as fictional devices; for example "The Brighton Zodiac" - created by Sally Hurst, based on the streets of that town - features as a plot device in Robert Rankin's novel "The Brightonomicon" .

Famous quotes containing the word landscape:
“Every landscape which is dreary enough has a certain beauty to my eyes, and in this instance its permanent qualities were enhanced by the weather. Everything told of the sea, even when we did not see its waste or hear its roar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
