The Wimblestone

A triangular shaped standing stone 1.8m tall with a hole through it, near Winscombe in Somerset. Additional stones were thought to have once been nearby. Local traditions state there is a treasure hidden beneath the stone and that the stone ‘walks’ when it either hears the clock strike twelve or between the hours of midnight and dawn and it is said that during its nocturnal wanderings a heap of shining gold has been seen glistening in the moonlight. Allegedly a farmer once tried to remove it with chains and two horses but failed.
