The Suckstone

South East Wales

A beautiful setting, possibly worth it for the ten minute walk-in alone. And if it's not worth it for that, surely getting a line on the UK's largest boulder has to tick someone's box.It's not as hard to find as the Indy make out-http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/travel-between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place-in-the-first-of-an-occasional-series-on-undiscovered-britain-magnus-mills-searches-for-the-suck-stone-a-gigantic-rock-somewhere-in-the-forest-of-dean-1463931.htmlOn the road from Coleford to Monmouth, a few hundred meters after passing through the village of Staunton, where the double white line in the centre of the road ends, turn into a forestry track on the right. Plenty of room for parking.Walk past the green metal barrier, take the right hand fork and atfter 10 mins the crags are in the woods on the right.A final word- it's probably wise to take a nylon brush on any visit. With the low level of traffic- good thing- moss can accumulate- bad thing. You don't want that walk-in wasted, do you?
