"This wonderfully exposed photograph of the Longstone above Challacombe was taken by Dr Andrew Bargery and is reproduced here with his kind permission. The Longstone remains perhaps one of the most enigmatic features on Exmoor. A picture tells a thousand tales;some of the tales of why the Longstone stand are probably as tall as the stone itself - some nine feet high. Certainly it stands at one of the sources of the River Bray that churns a way down the combe and on through the village of Challacombe. The Longstone stands in an isolated spot, looking south westwards out from the moor. It has been variously catalogued down through time as the site of a holy well,the burial mound of an ancient prince and a rubbing post for grazing stock. "
