Gawton's Rock
Also known as Gawton's Dolmen and The Healing Stone this arrangement of boulders seems to be shrouded in mystery. Some will tell you that a sort of "energy" can be felt when it is touched, others say there is evidence that a hermit was once healed at the nearby Gawton's Well and then lived in the alcove between the supporting stones to the rear of the rock. It could also have been erected by the owners of the estate during the reign of Queen Victoria (who were called Gawton), creating structures like this was very much in fashion then. Of course, it could have occurred naturally- the large stone breaking away from the rock face behind and coming to rest on the smaller rocks. Who knows?

This is one of the flowerheads or umbels of the plant seen growing in Image
The Common Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) is a common, invasive plant that can be found under hedges, in woodland and on road verges. It is a member of the carrot family (Apiaceae) that when given good growing conditions can grow to height of two metres. The flat shape of the flowerheads give it the classification of Umbellifer, with each separate head being an umbel. Certain parts of the plant are edible, for more information see http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/ancient/wild-food-entry.php?term=Common%20Hogweed .
