Why it's Wildland

5.8

Three towering stones are the surviving members of a prehistoric group once comprising four. Their setting on a golf-course fairway makes this ancient monument an unexpectedly close encounter with the modern landscape.

A striking prehistoric monument whose scale and unusual golf-course setting give it real character. Access is not simply a case of walking onto the site: seek permission at the Starter’s hut and respect golfers.
