The Eagle Stone is a well-weathered block of gritstone that is steeped in local folklore. Apparently, local men had to climb the stone to demonstrate their eligibility to marry. These days, it’s a popular bouldering spot with spectacular panoramic views.

Uphill to the monument is fairly straight forward followed by a right turn and the Eagle stone is on your right, although you really can’t miss it!
