The lovely Oxfordshire village of Stonesfield sits on the crest of an escarpment and makes for a lovely place to stop after a long walk.

It is known for Stonefield slate, a type of Cotswold stone used on roof tiles throughout the region. Mining here also lead to the discovery of a hoard of Middle Jurassic vertebrate fossils. In fact, the first fossilised remains identified as a dinosaur, Megalosaurus, were discovered here in the early 19th century.
