A small number of small boulders scattered around the woods south of Newtown Linford. Nothing to write home about but good for a potter in solitude.
Perhaps best appreciated when explored without information, however problems can be identified from their route descriptions on UKClimbing.com and the pictures below.
Parking: Park respectfully on the verge next the cemetery on Groby Lane.
Approach: Walk south along the footpath. The boulders are in the wooded area after the path splits.
Mother-stone , or Mothering-stone , sb . conglomerate ; 'pudding stone; 'breeding-stone'.

In ancient years there was plenty of wood, and tradition comes down to us that in Charnwood once upon a time a squirrel could travel six miles on the trees without touching the ground, and a traveller journey entirely across the forest without seeing the sun.
