This ancient monument is a large stone slab, approximately 12 feet tall and 6 feet wide, standing upright in a field. The stone bears an inscription in Old English, which translates to "Thor's Stone" or "Thor's Monument", although the exact meaning and purpose of the inscription are unknown. The stone is weathered and worn, with moss and lichen growing on its surface, giving it a sense of age and history.
5 cdmin walk from the road. Lovely little spot. If you're agile you can climb on top with no equipment needed. I was there for a very early morning photo shoot and it was lovely. Just what we had hoped.
Brilliant and amazing experience. I have only climbed indoor and first time climbing a rock. Made memory today
Beautiful views and a lovely walk to take as a family with a nice spot for climbing.
We were camping nearby and my dad and my aunty suggested going to the stone as they used to go there as kids with their friends from Birkenhead. We climbed to the top, a steady flow of kids and adults climbing up the stone.
Great place to walk to! Park in Thurstaston common and there is a relatively easy circular trail for everyone (even dogs) that takes about an hour and a half. Thor's rock is right in the middle of the walk so great for keeping kids entertained. As they can climb and carve their names into the rock. Make sure to pack wellies though as it can get muddy! Only dropped a star because there are next to no bins available on route, so you have to carry your rubbish with you
Great to relive my teenage years with the scouts. We used to play wide-games all over this area. Lots of lovely walks with loads of pathways to get you lost on.
