Short Walks: Duddo Five Stones
From the small village of Duddo, a short stroll across picturesque farmland leads you to a magnificent 4000-year-old Bronze Age stone circle positioned on a hilltop. Commanding spectacular views in all directions, the stones stand between 5-and-10 feet tall and back to around 2000 BC. Duddo Farm permits access to the stone circle which is signposted from the village and takes approximately half an hour to reach.
