Arthur's Stone

Recommended Posts

Not much of a RR but I did get out for a ride today.  Crap sleep last night so I was up and away by 7.00am , it was quite misty when I got to Arthur's Stone which is up on a hill near Dorstone in Herefordshire .  It was very quiet and the atmoshere suited the site.

Why is it called Arthur stone then? I was reading through it waiting for a mention of a crack on the stone from which a sword could have been pulled...

Anything and everything historical in England has some attachement to the legend of Arthur :classic_biggrin:

Either that or the pissed farmer that drove into it with his tractor in 1957 was called Arthur :classic_unsure:

Yebbut we've claimed everything else that you've got (apart from the sheep), some people say that Owain Glyndwr really lived in Rotherham

The 85 bit is the turret and gun, the earlier ones weren't quite up to the task of ruining the German tankers' day.
