Near Hearkening Rock, Monmouthshire

16 Apr 2015 294
This is the Near Hearkening Rock, an overhanging outcrop of Upper Devonian Quartz Conglomerate, in High Meadow Woods, an outlier of the Forest of Dean. It is so called because you are supposed to be able hear distant sounds (such as conversations or the horse hooves of an approaching army) which are amplified by the shape of the rock outcrop.
