THE DRUID STONE is a natural rock formation with a narrow, manmade passage cut through its centre. It rises anomalously from otherwise gently undulating agricultural land close to the village of Blidworth, Nottinghamshire, in the heart of Sherwood Forest.

Composed of a conglomerate of pebbles and sand bound together with limestone, the Druid Stone, also called the “Altar Stone,” stands over 13 feet (4 metres) high in a field of cows, sheep and alpacas. Formed by an eroded glacial deposit, the monolith dates back thousands of years, possibly used as a Druidical altar, though there’s no evidence to back that up.
