Sundial Trails and Groups, Societies and Websites

SUNDIAL SOCIETIES

There are an increasing number of countries that have sundial societies in them – often more than one – Spain for instance has at least 4 and the UK has at least 3.

The Sundial Societies, Groups and Websites of the World page lists a number of them and includes quite a range of countries that have dedicated societies, groups or web pages.

This page and a broad range of other sundial related information and comment can be found on the colourful SunInfo page.  The specific section/link can be seen in the lower left hand corner of the image below but this is only shows a very small part of the overall page dedicated to sundials.

Extract from the SunInfo page

The information provided varies greatly but generally has photographs and images, history and descriptions, links to other sources of information including details about sundial trails.

They may also include details of sundial manufacturers of which there are as many as they are varied.
