The western end of Trewortha Tor is where you will find King Arthur’s Bed, to give it its proper name. Photo looking northwest.

This feature is cool, you can actually lie inside it like a granite coffin.
I visited this site a few years back. I was maning a check point for an orienteering event.
Spent about 3 hours here. Even had a snooze in it!
