Standing Stone marking the crossroads where Alfred Watkins had his ley alignment revelation in June 1921. (Popularly known as ley lines) The stone was erected in 2014 by The Society of Ley Hunters.
When visiting, because the lanes are narrow please park on hard standing within The Woodland Garden of Remembrance; i.e. the south-east quadrant.
Note: Commemorative stone to Alfred Watkins unveiled by the Society of Ley Hunters
