This mysterious stone circle is just a mile and a half’s walk away , it’s one of the biggest stone circles in the country and over 3000 year old , but little known so you can often have it to yourself.

Second largest stone circle in England. Legend says it was a witch and her coven turned to stone by a wizard from neighbouring Scotland!

Join the public footpath, pass the pigs taking time out sit on the bench & just watch these magical creatures. Then continue along the footpath to Long Meg & her daughters, one of the largest stone circles in England. Count the number of stones, it changes every time?!!
