Robin Hood’s Stone

A little crag, but one with a Medieval legend and its own poem. Quick drying, close to the road (but unfortunately not on Access Land). Some neat little problems.

Close to Silsden in West Yorkshire and on the South Western edge of Ilkley Moor. There is some interest and curiosity on various websites, the best being: https://www.irhb.org/wiki/index.php/Robin_Hood%27s_Stone_(Silsden)

Here lies the stone where

Robin Hood

Took shelter when he was

Pursued

While near is Rivocks

Gloomy peak

With natures wildest

State imbued.
