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:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
