The Buckstone lies in Highmeadow Woods near the village of Staunton
in the Forest of Dean. The huge rock on the summit of Buckstone
Hill is said to have been used in Druid ceremonies, and actually
used to rock before it was dislodged in 1885. This point is at 915
feet and one can view panoramic scenery such as views over the
Forest of dean, Highmeadow Woods and the Black Mountains.
This is a walk of approximately 2 miles there and back to the car.
