An interesting bit of history. Arthur’s Stone is actually a 5000 year old tomb dating back to the Neolithic Period. It’s easy to access by car because it’s right next to the lane. It’s also on a footpath so if you are walking you can incorporate a visit as part of your route. It’s free to visit too.

A nice little place to stop and pause for a little while. Apparently there is spectacular view over the Golden Valley, but not today it was covered by a misty veil, making our visit feel more magical.

Recently featured on Digging for Britain, this hilltop dolmen is a small site, free to enter and accessible for a variety of visitors. Expect it to be busy at certain times and there is limited parking. The site features in a number of circular walks within the Golden Valley, which is full of historical places and is well worth visiting if you are exploring the area.

Been here a few times. Easy parking and great views. A short walk from here to the summit of Merbach Hill is also worthwhile.

Part of my english heritage tour with my bike. Quite a hard place to reach without a car. This is a 5000 year old tomb, quite impressive

We visited the site on July 14th. The drive to it follows a narrow one lane road. There’s only a few parking spaces. It is amazing that the stones are over 3,500 years old. We are looking forward to the findings of the current archaeological dig.

A fantastic piece of archaeology that is worth viewing. It is a bit out of the way, but worth the drive or walk. The stonew are from the Neolithic era, and if you arrive during July you can see the active archaeological excavations and engage with the students and professors conducting the work. The small plaque is unfortunately now incorrect, as recent digs have completely rewritten the history of the site. With a stunning backdrop on a sunny day, this is a great place to view and think about life.

If you're in or visiting Hay-on-Wye, this is a great place to visit, but I wouldn't recommend going too far out of your way unless you're a Neolithic history buff.
