グレートウルフォードの天然記念物・トップ7

Fabulous walk allowing you to see the stone monuments erected 3,800 years BC. Special attention when you park by the road as there are thief’s that break your car window and take your belongings. This couple that arrive 10 minutes before us had their passports stolen! We opted to park in Salford and do the walk starting there. Safe parking there and plenty of spaces.

Remember to always keep a pace when going up a big hill

Does what it says on the tin

Bloody steep! But worth it

Standing at 856 feet (261 m), Ebrington Hill is the highest point in Warwickshire. From the summit, you can see Birmingham’s skyline to the north and the grand ridge of the Malvern Hills to the west. The hill is topped with radio masts and pleasant crop fields.

The King Stone was erected in early to middle Bronze Age, probably around 1,500 BC. Rather than relating directly to the much older Neolithic Stone Circle, the King Stone was likely erected as a permanent memorial to the Bronze Age round cairn 17m across with a central chamber, which lies immediately to the north-east set exactly on the top the ridge.
