The Rollright Stones stand majestically above the Cotswold landscape. Built from local limestone over 2,000 years ago, the King’s Men are said to be impossible to count. It is one of the finest places in the Cotswolds to pause and take in the landscape. 🪨 🪨
Local agricultural show tomorrow , hoping for sunshine ☀️ 🚜
