I was up at this fella today. The views down the lower Esk Valley to the sea are absolutely crackin'. There is also a modern memorial stone close by. The are definitely worse places to spend eternity. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

We haven't been able to find out much information about this stone, it may only be a waymarker or boundary stone. It has the inscription Rokan/Stone cut into it, hence the name. But this is as much as we know! Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
