Wonderful, large menhir in highly atmospheric spot of dense forest. Appears to be part of the allignment in the Foret de St. Aubin.

The Guihallon menhir is several hundred yards down a path from the roadside carpark. Just before the carpark note two impressive mehir's on the same side of road.

There is good access along the path leading up to the menhir, but the forest is dense and overgrown. Large stones poke out of the undergrowth tantalisingly at various points and somewhere in the vicinty lies a passage grave.
