Points of interest along the route

  1. Point of interest after 0.3 km

    Cat Hill Wood Stone submitted by enkidu41 Cat Hill Wood StoneStanding Stone - probably modern - in Leicestershire and Rutland. This stone in Cat Hill Wood is nearly 8' high and is the tallest standing stone in the county. This does not appear to be ancient and may have been erected in the early part of the twentieth century by Boy Scouts from the nearby camp.

  2. Point of interest after 0.3 km

    Altar Stone, Whitwick submitted by enkidu41 Altar Stone, WhitwickNear Whitwick in Leicestershire, a so-called druidical 'Altar Stone' to the north-west of Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, the first monastery to be established in England after the Dissolution. It is a large flat stone resting on other smaller stones. This seems unlikely to have anything to do with prehistoric Druids but may be the work of late eighteenth century gentry who had a fascination with the highly-imaginary 'revival' of Druidism that was then fashionable.

  3. Point of interest after 0.3 km

    Grey Hangman Stone submitted by enkidu41 Grey Hangman StoneStanding Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. Located near Oaks in Charwood at at the edge of a small oak wood and due north of a small pond this 3' high stone stands in the shade of an oak tree. An inexplicable oval-shaped mound standing about a foot above the current field level surrounds both the stone and the tree. The mound may be made up of stones cleared from the field and may therefore obscure a further 1' or more of the stone.

  4. Point of interest after 0.3 km

    Cat Hill Wood Stone Stone Standing Stone - probably modern - in Leicestershire and Rutland. This stone in Cat Hill Wood is nearly 8' high and is the tallest standing stone in the county.

  5. Point of interest after 0.3 km

    Grace Dieu Priory Stone Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. This nearly 3' high squat stone lies in a field adjacent to and on the west side of the Grace Dieu Priory at Thringstone. It leans to the south and has a flat side aligned east-west. A notch in the top, possibly man-made, aligns north-south.

  6. Point of interest after 0.4 km

    Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. A recumbent stone nearly 3' long in the middle of a field to the immediate south-east of farm buildings.

  7. Point of interest after 0.4 km

    Bradgate Hunt's Hill Stone Standing Stone in Leicestershire. Although this 5 foot stone was certainly erected by humans Bob Trubshaw (see talk next month in Leicester) is of the opinion that it was a bunch of 20th century Boy Scouts! He doesn't elaborate on his reasons however. Situated just outside Bradgate Park in Leicestershire at Grid Ref SK524116, turn left at the public toilets and enter the wood to it's left. The stone stands right in the middle by a large Holly bush. Several recumbant stones surround the stone and there is a possible cist just to the west (other side of the bush).

  8. Point of interest after 0.4 km

    Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. This recumbent boulder of gritty sandstone is just under 3' long and lies to the western edge of the churchyard of St. Martin's Church in Desford.

  9. Point of interest after 0.4 km

    Beacon Hill (Leicestershire) Beacon Hill (Leicestershire)Beacon Hill is a lovely country park in Leicestershire with spectacular rock formations and marvellous views. Less well known is the hill fort which is believed to be of Late Bronze Age date.

  10. Point of interest after 0.4 km

    Huncote Stone StoneStanding Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. This stone is at the roadside on the boundary of Huncote and Croft parishes. It was formerly embedded in a tree trunk and was removed and subsequently replaced (but possibly not in the exactly the same place) in about 1970 during road repair work.

  11. Point of interest after 0.4 km

    Stoney Stanton Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. A stone nearly 6' high and 3' wide standing at the entrance to an industrial unit. 3 faces are flat and 2 are vertical to form a right angle. It is probably modern and erected as a monument to the local massive quarries.

  12. Point of interest after 4.4 km

    Wigstone Parva Henge in Leicestershire and Rutland. Cropmarks show triple concentric ring-ditches with the inner ring interrupted to provide a possible entrance. This is either a henge or possibly a causewayed barrow.

  14. Point of interest after 19.1 km

    wappenbury submitted by gautrek wappenburyA very nice hillfort with a village nestled inside its banks. It would appear that most of its banks are complete around 2 of its sides. It is visible from the various footpaths which cross this fort at various points. It also has a very nice church in the centre of the village.

  15. Point of interest after 24.8 km

    Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Warwickshire Allegedly a baptismal holy well, this large bath-well is very easy to find, just down a slope outside the gate of the churchyard of St John the Baptist's, Berkswell. The water seems to flow southwards into the 16-foot square bath, though it's difficult to tell, and then enters a smaller bath to the south which has steps leading down into the water from either side. There's an inscription on the upper bath recording its restoration in 1851 (or perhaps 1831 - that's difficult to tell as well!). Of course the village takes its name from this spring - 'Berchewelle' in Domesday Book - though the meaning is obscure. The church seems to have had some ancient significance and may be a second-rank minster: it has a Norman crypt, very unusually for a village church, and John Leland reckoned that a St Milred (who may have been an 8th-century bishop of Worcester) was buried here.

    St. John's Well (Warwickshire) submitted by HarryTwenty St. John's Well (Warwickshire)Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Warwickshire "St. Thomas in his edition of Dugdale (1730) inserted a long extract from an alleged court roll of 18 Henry VIII. It asserted that St John's Well was a place of Pilgrimage, 'St. John's bath' and 'our Ladys bath' being used respectively for the cleansing of male and female incontinent penitents. "There is still a slight issue of water from the indicated site, but only scattered fragments of masonry remain."
