4clydesdale7 visited on 14th May 2012 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Interesting - this lies on a Watkins Leyline
Alfred Watkins of 'leyline fame' suggested this stone lay on a leyline ending at the Hermitage near Courtfield at Lower Lydbrook; the Speech House was the Courthouse for the Verderers of the Forest of Dean in the 17th century but now is a prosperous hotel
