The Toad Stone lives in the Valley of Stones in Wiltshire. Not on the Access land area but in the Fyfield National Nature Reserve. Before you visit, hear a little of the Toad Stone’s story, and other toads in archaeology, via Katy Whitaker's amazing cartoon flipbook:

The Tale of the Toad Stone

With many thanks to Katy for the artwork and location information
