Devil’s Arrows

"These magnificent ancient monoliths, the second tallest in the UK after the Rudstone monolith are just off the A1 at Boroughbridge. Fully accessible all day with their own parking bay! Two are in a field and the third is over a minor road."

"Very impressive stones but facilities are poor and unpleasant. There's a few parking spaces, but no access path to 2 of the 3 stones. Owner of field the two are in has dumped very smelly muck yards from the stones so even viewing them from a distance is unpleasant. I've given this only 3 stars as I dont think the stones are being given the respect they deserve. 3.5k years old and visitors are treated like an inconvenience. Having been to Avebury this weekend im sad to see these in this sorry state."

"A very impressive set of prehistoric standing stones, 2 are in a farmers field so treat the area with respect & stick to the pathways & there’s another stone by the road, apparently there were more stones originally, some stories say maybe up to 7 stones. There’s an info board by small car park for 3 cars nearby. We stopped here for a drink & sarni break from driving home from up north & I’m so glad we did, so much better than the services or a lay-by"

"Three very impressive, enormous prehistoric standing stones. Two of them are in a farmers field so be respectful, whilst the other is right next to a road. It was reckoned that there were probably five originally. There are several theories as to why they were erected but nobody really knows. A story says that the devil threw them at nearby Aldborough, but missed! There's a small car park with an information board and it's well worth stopping to see them."

"Nice little site to explore with one of the stones standing alone in a fenced area. The other two are across the road in a farmers field with parking for 2/3 vehicles. I'm not sure if you can enter the field, I didn't, but there is an inf board where you park."
