The Rollright Stones

It was a grey and windy day as we drove through the winding country lanes of the Oxfordshire countryside. Despite the light being dull and lifeless, my heart warmed at the green and leafy view, the bucolic charm of rolling hills and fields of sheep.

My friend and I parked up and made our way through the gate, to what we had come to see, the Rollright Stones, wreathed in myth and legend for millennia. Formed of three separate megaliths, they are a part of a wider ritual landscape here in the fertile heartlands of southern England.
