Bambury Stone
Natural Rock Feature

Also known as the ‘Elephant Stone’, it’s a natural conglomerate stone within the fort.

“Cottagers at the foot of Bredon Hill, near Tewkesbury, assured me in 1906 that there is treasure hidden near or under the Bambury Stone, which goes down to the Avon to drink when it hears the clock strike twelve.”
