Standing Stone In Bothal, Northumberland
A standing stone celebrating the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
I thought the Jubilee Stone on Shaftoe Crags was a one off, but nope we found another stone celebrating a monarch's Jubilee.
This time is was Queen Elizabeth II and the stone is pretty new as it celebrates her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Situated just outside St Andrew's Church in Bothal next to the road, so you can't miss it!

From the parking place just head towards St Andrew's church and the stone is right in front of it beside the road.

Some parking spaces near the church or on the roadside near the houses. Try not to park in front of someone's house though :)

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue Pele tower up a remote hill or a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.

Quite simply the biggest free standing boulder in Northumberland!
