A striking outcrop of red sandstone, the Hemlock Stone rises 31 feet (10 m) on the flanks of Stapleford Hill. Legend has it that this beguiling rock formation has associations with the ancient religious rites of fire and sun worship. When it catches the setting sun, it's easy to imagine why.

Be sure to take a look at this ancient and unusual rock formation from all angles, approaching from the woods and then heading down to the field below.

Hemlock Stone Open Space is a small park on Stapleford Hill with unusual sandstone feature to the west of Nottingham.

The Hemlock Stone, also known as the Himlack Stone, is an inselberg, with black grime on the upper layers from Britain's more industrial past.

The rock is the same kind of New Red Sandstone that Nottingham Castle stands on.
