Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jan 2015
Whitestone (Lee) submitted by theCaptain on 4th Jan 2015. I found a place to park and got out for a look, and there was the large white quartz stone, stood in the paddock just above the roadside.
It's probably about 8 to 10 feet tall, and cannot be seen from the nearby roadside due to the thick hedge, but it can be seen (in winter anyway) from further up the hillside
