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.

The King Stone is a standing stone in the Cotswolds, England, which dates back to the Bronze Age. It is believed to have been a marker for ancient trade routes or a ceremonial site.

Read up on the fascinating history attached to the Whispering Knights stones, the third of the Rollright Stones collection in Oxfordshire.

This impressive historic landmark consists of around 77 limestones erected in the Neolithic and Bronze ages. Not only is it a great chance to brush up on some ancient history, but it makes a great spot for a sit-down and picnic.

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.

The Whispering Knights dolmen was built in the early Neolithic period around 3,800BC, which predates the Stone Circle with over a thousand years and makes it one the earliest funerary monuments in Britain. It is a 'portal dolmen' burial chamber that consists of four upright stones and a large fallen capstone. Archeologists have found early Neolithic, Beaker and early Bronze Age pottery in the immediate vicinity of the site, which suggests that the dolmen was venerated over many centuries.
