I love this stone. The first time I visited, I cycled past on a blowy cold June day 5 years ago, and paused. I felt watched. Smiled, touched the stone. Marvelled at the views. Warmly appreciated the sound of the curlews. Then found out a few days later this was called “The Watch Stone”. Spot on.

Thanks Tim, The stone does stand there like a sentinel guarding the causeway and yes I think I felt something similar to being watched on an equally cold and blustery evening.
