I think the stones were put there by one of the Lyttleton's (Viscount Cobham) in memory of his wife, but sometimes these apparent "follies" have a deeper underlying meaning. Maybe he was concretizing something he had picked up psychically in the land that had pre-existed at another time...?


That would be cool. I would hope that was true. The pamphlet here says that Lord Lyttleton put the stones there in the 1770s as part of his 'landscaping of Hagley Park'.

What's undeniable is the staggering views up there. Would have been even more beautiful in the 1700s. That toposcope is very helpful. So much to see. Maybe Lord Lyttleton had a similar 'moment' to Alfred Watkins, looking across the West?

Dumb-down moment: the carrot cake is very good at the Visitor Centre there.
