In 1714, the crown of England controversially passed from the Stuart royal line to the Hanoverians. This 1734 monument is dedicated to Anne, the last Stuart monarch, and is unique in an English garden. It’s an almost treasonous statement by Thomas Wentworth, and hints at what he thought of the regime change.

The story goes that centuries ago, when sheep stealing was a capital offence, a man stole a sheep from a field at night. He must have injured the sheep because he was carrying it over his shoulders and had tied its feet together with a rope. When he reached the lane now known as Hangman's Stone he stopped for a rest, placing the sheep on top of a stone post whilst he himself sat on the ground He then fell asleep. The story is that the sheep must have slipped off the stone and the rope, which the man had round his body slipped up round his neck and strangled him, so doing the hangman out of a job

Between two farmers' fields is a corridor of woodland wilderness filled with the scent of wild garlic in the spring. In it is a path that leads from the road toward Barnburgh, but if you look to your right at the stone crags, every so often, hidden among the foliage is faces peering out, carved into the rock face. There are also symbols that look alien in origin, or resemble insects.

Angry men or staring gargoyles? you decide.

There are a few ways to get up to the ston circle. Komoot shows the routes up they are active so just follow them. The view from the top of Blacker Hill and the stone circle are fantastic. I'm sure there used to be a board pointing out exactly what you can see but it looks like the vandals have had it. Never the less on a good day you can see far and wide. Worsborough country park and the cafe is 10 mins away and it's all down hill. It's definitely worth the effort to ride or walk up there. It's one of my favourite places to go.

I grew up on B/Hill and this view has always been one of my favourites and inspired me to get outdoors from being a kid.
