Parked the car about 15 mins walk to the stone circle itself, easy path to follow but muddy on a wet day, so bring your wellies if you're heading out in the rain!!!
Once at the stones, there is multiple paths you can take with stunning views all around.
The stone circle is in a big open space of green, hard to miss it, as there is also an information board that explains its history. It brings a feeling of being very centered and a sense of calm. It's really beautiful and I would recommend to anyone who is in the area to go and explore.
Saw many dog walkers, so dog friendly!
My only downside is there isn't any bins as you're walking, only at where you can park your car so if you're planning on a picnic or your dog needs the loo, please take it with you and don't leave any litter!!
Please do not take fire or bbq as there are many burn patches, probably due to the incessant need people have to cook richmond sausages or equally unpleasant meat items off cheap one time use only bbqs.
Bring a picnic instead!?
Along the way is a tower Folly.
There are also lots of little areas you can get of the beaten track to see parts of the old stone quarry works too.
It was quite misty while we were there but it didn't take anything away from the place, in fact it added a certain mystery to it.
Love walking around here.
No steep slopes but not wheel chair accessible unfortunately x
