    Tips

    Hiking

    This gravestone marks the spot where an unknown sailor was murdered by three men he’d befriended in a pub in Thursley in 1786. The poor sailor had been walking from London to Portsmouth Docks. The three killers were eventually caught and hung on nearby Gibbet Hill as a warning to other criminals. The eerie spot affords a great view.

    Hiking

    The Sailor’s Stone actually has a curse written on the back of it cursing any man that would remove it.
