markj99 visited on 17th Jan 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 3 I approached the Ingle Stone from the north because there is no room to park on the minor road running south from Twynholm past Ingleston farm. I parked up at a farm track road end at NX 65830 54067. I followed the track south (past Arden Fort). I headed SSE towards NX 65971 53318 using my GPS to zoom into my target.
I found this stone by sight as I was travelling S out of Twynholm. On passing Ingleston farm I noticed a large stone on the right side at the top of a hill.
I couldn't find any online references to this stone but found it marked on my OS landranger map.
The Ingle Stone is a massive erratic measuring around 10x10x8 feet. There is a small moss-covered stone resting on top of the Ingle Stone. It is no wonder that the Ingle Stone has not been moved and has given the farm it's name due to its prominence in the landscape.
