URPoint Details
Parking in layby; no dogs allowed.
A late Neolithic stone circle, spectacularly sited on a high ridge overlooking the Cotswold Hills and Evenlode Valley.
The stones consist of three monuments, the Kings Men, Kings Stone and the Whispering Knights, spanning nearly 2,000 years.
Find out about the legend of the King, his knights and soldiers who were turned to stone by a witch!
Man's presence in the area stretches back to at least 6000BC, which helps explain the eerie atmosphere.
There is a tradition that says the circle of Kings Men cannot be accurately counted - try it!
