Newbridge on Wye
Newbridge on Wye submitted by TimPrevett : The eastern side of the stone, picture looking west.

Stopped at this today, 12 April 2007, and it seems to have settled slightly since Shropshire Traveller's picture in 2005. It is difficult to be absolutely sure, but the angle of the holes on this face certainly seem slightly more acute, and the surrounding ground is definitely showing the signs of livestock using it for shelter.
