Devil’s Arrows — Attraction in Boroughbridge

These stones are old. Now I mean really really old.. Around 4,700 years old. Standing in a line two in a field and one next to the road. Some road parking but not alot. Access is accepted by landowner and a path goes round from lane that heads towards new estate. Please be respectful during growing season and dont go across the planted field. Theres normally a way across to the central stone from path. Its understated site and if you appreciate how old these are and the ancient laylines they are on it's a one off site. You wont see a sign nor any adverts. To make it worthwhile also visit Thornborough circle near Masham. Alternatively also go to Warram Percy medieval village and Rudston Stone (the tallest monolith in the uk) in Rudston near...

Very impressive stones but facilities are poor and unpleasant. There's a few parking spaces, but no access path to 2 of the 3 stones.

Owner of field the two are in has dumped very smelly muck yards from the stones so even viewing them from a distance is unpleasant.

I've given this only 3 stars as I dont think the stones are being given the respect they deserve. 3.5k years old and visitors are treated like an inconvenience.

Having been to Avebury this weekend im sad to see these in this...

Three very impressive, enormous prehistoric standing stones. Two of them are in a farmers field so be respectful, whilst the other is right next to a road. It was reckoned that there were probably five originally. There are several theories as to why they were erected but nobody really knows. A story says that the devil threw them at nearby Aldborough, but missed! There's a small car park with an information board and it's well worth stopping...
