In the centre of the park, enclosed by railings, is a pile of rocks arranged to form a dolmen. The top stone has a coat of arms and an inscription which refers to the founding of the park. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endcliffe_Park?wprov=sfla1

A lovely new area of the country park created by Rotherham council. The idea is to have an area for kids to bird watch and look for nature. It’s got some cool monuments and benches to just sit and enjoy nature. Such a great idea!
