Visitor Information - At the StonesWhere are the stones?The site is located just north of Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. Please see the OS map here for further details. Parking There is free parking available in the lay-bys on the road (the Jurassic Way) that runs alongside the site. Please remember to secure your vehicle and remove all valuables. Cars have been broken into on a fairly regular basis. Access All three sites are no more than five minutes walk from the main parking area. The Kings Men Stone Circle is a few strides from the main lay-by. It is accessible by wheel chair although some assistance might be needed to get up the kerb. The King Stone is over a wobbly wooden fence across an open privately owned field to which the owner permits access. The Whispering Knights are about five minutes walk from the main lay-by heading east. After about 100 yards go through a green farm gate and follow the edge of the field down to the Knights. The field is privately owned but access to the Knights is permitted. Literature There is an excellent full colour leaflet for sale at the site. It costs just 50p and has been written by George Lambrick of the Oxford Archaeological Unit. The Right Times is the magazine of the Friends of the Rollright Stones. A small selection of useful books are also available. We are also happy to (try and) answer any questions or queries relating to the site. Dogs Please note that dogs, with the exception of guide dogs, are not allowed in the circle. Please leave them with the warden or tie them to a tree. Thank you. Please leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but photos! We would like you to enjoy the site as it is and would ask you to leave it as you find it, undamaged and peaceful. Erosion is a constant problem and we would appreciate visitors respecting areas under repair. The site is protected under the Scheduled Monuments Act, and any person causing damage to the site is liable to criminal prosecution. Not at the StonesToiletsThere are no toilet facilities at the Stones. (For any kind of animal!) The nearest public conveniences are at Wyatt's cafe - see below. Food and Drink The nearest food can be found at Wyatts Farm Shop about 1 mile east of the Stones. Wyatt's have a cafe, toilets and a farm shop. Alternatively The Cross Hands Inn, which is about 2 miles west of the Rollrights, serves meals/snacks along with all the usual pub wares (beer!). Accommodation There are Tourist Information offices at Chipping Norton and Banbury which can supply details of B&Bs and guesthouses. The Cross Hands Pub has camping facilities for those who prefer not to stagger too far! |
