Tips

Katherine Moore

October 14, 2022

Erected in 1859, the Three Shires Stones mark the point where Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire meet.
Although the marking is pretty impressive, it's nestled at the side of the main road, part of the Fosse Way, so it's easy to miss.
It's said that the stones were once part of an ancient burial chamber.
