Robin Hood and Little John Standing Stones View all content for Robin Hood and Little John

Follow the directions previously given by Kammer but be aware that the mentioned second information board no longer exists. My advice would be to park on the brow of the hill, just before the road descends down towards the stone bridge crossing the river. There is ample parking. The stones were not visible from the road due to the trees and undergrowth. I managed to find a gap in the bushes and pushed my way through onto the cultivated field the other side. It then didn’t take long to spot the stones. They are in a small fenced off area at the edge of the field, amongst the undergrowth. Now, I don’t claim to be in any way an expert on ‘old stones’ but I have seen a few over the years. And as Chris points out they certainly don’t appear to be prehistoric. At least if they are they look as though they have been subsequently worked as they are too square to be natural? Each stone is approximately 2.5ft high x 8 inches across and lean towards the south. Both stones are covered in green/yellow and white lichen. These stones are not the easiest to find and given their somewhat dubious ‘history’ it is not a site I would recommend unless you are particularly keen.
