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:
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
