Pikestones submitted by TimPrevett on 11th Sep 2022. Long overdue first visit to The Pikestones, 11th August 2022. I wanted to remember them with the amazing blue skies, and glad I did.

Log Text: Windswept, wild and marshy and site only a shadow of what it must have been like.
Relatively easy to get too, go past the postcode centre and park up where the road does a 90 degree on the spare land then over the gate and head towards the last tree on the right and as you get over the ridge the gate in the right hand corner takes you into the right field.

Log Text: lovely little site on the edge of a small copse of trees. I parked by the Stoneyard, walked back a few metres and into the copse and there it was in all its glory. Peaceful, tranquil and well worth a visit.
I would have given access a 5 but not sure how easy the few feet of wood would be to get access through.
