MenuWimblestone, Somerset
Wimblestone is a prehistoric standing stone near Sandford, Somerset. The standing stone survives as an upright earthfast triangular monolith around 6ft high. Local traditions state that the stone ‘walks’ when it either hears the clock strike twelve or between the hours of midnight and dawn. Supposedly, during its nocturnal wanderings a heap of shining gold has been seen glistening in the moonlight in its vacant spot. The monument is within the council area of Somerset.
