I came to the Rollright stones after visiting the remarkable church at Long Compton (just a couple of miles away).

They consist of three areas of stones: the King's Men stone circle; the Whispering Knights burial chamber and the King Stone.

Legend has it that they are a king and his courtiers petrified by a witch. The story was first mentioned in William Camden's Britannia in 1586.
