West Anstey long stone SS 8493 2940 is a
small slender standing stone, 1.30m high, below the horizon but looking out across the valley. The most beautiful setting of all the stones I visited. In the sunlight I could see a buzzard and hear a raven. It was perfect peace.

If ever a stone was a way marker at the top of a valley, this was it.
It's in lovely location and its flat faces point north down the lush green landscape into the valley. The stone is one of the largest we saw over the weekend and possibly the nicest. Head away from the road and bear left down the hill, you should see it about 30 yards away at the head of the valley.

A small slender standing stone, 1.30m high, below the horizon but looking out across the valley. The most beautiful setting of all the Exmoor stones.
Access is good. About 5 minutes from the road, over open moor with low grass.
