Small parking area just as you reach the first stone, on the road to the marina makes access easy You can visit one stone as the other 2 are in a farmers field Definitely worth a visit if in the area Quite impressive how they got there and the height of them, more should be made of their significance

Great little visit, just off the motorway. Line of three ancient standing stones with parking spaces and an information board. Peaceful and atmospheric. Highly recommended if you just want a short break from driving. Slightly muddy field but otherwise very easy to reach.

Nice little site to explore with one of the stones standing alone in a fenced area. The other two are across the road in a farmers field with parking for 2/3 vehicles. I'm not sure if you can enter the field, I didn't, but there is an inf board where you park.

Quite cool little bit of history, it’s a shame it’s not talked about - I appreciate that the ‘arrows’ are not much but they are nice to see in historical context. Lived here 5 years and accidentally found them while googling about Boroughbridge.

If you're interested in our Neolithic or Bronze Age past these beautiful monoliths are well worth a visit. Please be considerate of the crops though - it's a working landscape deserving your respect when visiting.

Worth a look could see 2 monoliths in the field and one over the other side of the mail road . Information board with some history to read. Bit messy going across the field in winter but wanted to get up close
