boboneleg Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything and everything historical in England has some attachement to the legend of Arthur Either that or the pissed farmer that drove into it with his tractor in 1957 was called Arthur 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
