The Rollright Stones in Chipping Norton come with mystical tales of legends past.

These prehistoric megalithic monuments are oddly shaped but are, without any shadow of a doubt, an ancient stone circle.

Spot the King Stone, believed to mark a Bronze Age cemetery which was in use from around 1800 to 1500 BC!

Even more impressive, archaeologists have dated some of the site to around 3800 – 3000 BC.

The best way to get to the Rollright Stones is with the 8-mile walk from the lovely market town of Chipping Norton.
