Arthur's Stone is a Neolithic burial chamber built from great slabs on the hills above Herefordshire's Golden Valley. Its name reflects a much later tradition linking the monument with King Arthur, including a story in which a defeated giant left marks on the stones. The surviving chamber is a small site, but its position among open fields gives it a broad landscape setting that reviewers often mention as a reason to linger. Visitors also remark on the narrow approach lanes and the care needed when driving them. The official recommended approach is a roughly 1.2-mile uphill walk on a footpath from Dorstone village, where visitors can use the village car park. There is only very limited space in the lay-by beside the monument. Bring what you need for the visit, as there are no nearby facilities, and do not climb on the stones.
Open during reasonable daylight hours. Excavation tours on specific dates have separate booking arrangements.
Grassed site beside Arthur's Stone Lane. The village footpath climbs uphill; the narrow road and limited lay-by need care. Do not climb on the stones.
