The Tibble Stone: A Giant's Unsuccessful Throw in Gloucestershire, England This ancient and enigmatic image captures the legend of The Tibble Stone, a prehistoric artifact located at Teddington, Gloucestershire, England. According to local folklore, a giant from Dixton Hill in the background is said to have hurled the stone towards the River Severn, intending to create a causeway for his fellow giants. However, the mighty rock fell short of its intended target, coming to rest at Teddington instead. The Tibble Stone is believed to date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, making it an intriguing piece of archaeological history. The stone measures approximately 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, weighing several tons. Its smooth, rounded edges suggest that it may have been moved by glacial action during the last Ice Age. The Tibble Stone has long been a source of fascination for locals and visitors alike, with many coming to marvel at this ancient relic and ponder the tales of giants that surround it. The stone's mysterious origins and the captivating legend of the giant's failed attempt to reach the River Severn continue to intrigue and inspire the imagination, making The Tibble Stone a cherished part of Gloucestershire's rich cultural heritage.
