Image of Berthele’s Stone (Natural Rock Feature) by thesweetcheat

Fine selection of flint arrowheads from the Berthele Collection, displayed in a murky and underlit cabinet at Chillingham Castle, apologies for the poor image quality. Fritz Berthele (after whom this site is named) was a former German POW who spent decades collecting flint tools from the area around Chillingham.

Berthele’s Stone

4-8-2002CE

This stone is in Hepburn Wood (Forestry land), which has a good car park and planned walks; the stone is marked on a map at the start, however it’s easy to miss the signs and the path is overgrown.

The setting of the stone is very peaceful, lots of good woodland plants, ferns, mosses, etc.

There is also a replica cist on one of the woodland walks, and you can walk to Ros Castle from here.
