Interesting facts about this location
Great Stone of Fourstones
The Great Stone of Fourstones, or the "Big Stone" as it is known locally, is a glacial deposit on the moorlands of Tatham Fells, situated in North Yorkshire, England, near Bentham in the District of Craven, and 10 metres from the county border with Lancashire. The name suggests that there were once four stones, but now there is only one. The other three were possibly broken up for scythe sharpening stones, or building stone, centuries ago.

A plaque reads “You are calling from the BT payphone that marks the centre of Great Britain”.
