Even on a sunny summer day, it has a dark and mystic presence. Rationality says that it is a geological feature, but the legends seem plausible when you're there. It is threatened by the saplings growing on it. Would the authorities please carefully cut them back to say one foot, scrape the bark and apply SBK brushwood killer with a paint brush.

It's definitely earned its title as largest stone in Nottingham! Very beautiful and truly a wonder to behold. It's got a little fence thing surrounding it so you can't fully access the stone but it's probably for the best. Would 10/10 recommend visiting hemlock stone- just note it's on quite a steep hill!

Nice rock, it's a very nice place to have a picnic. It should have a car park of its own as Bramcote Park can get very busy.

Lovely woods, and a beautifully kept area for picnics etc

A great place for a walk or mountain biking on the bonkers trails. The views at the top are excellent as well.

The Hemlock Stone or Himlack Stone is an inselberg on Stapleford Hill at Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, England. Protected by an iron fence. Easy to walk up to and offers a view of the Bramcote Walled garden opposite. An information board gives further information about the stone.

The Mountain Bike Trails here are excellent, they do not get waterlogged so good to ride in most weathers well maintained by excellent local trail association, volunteers. There are 3 main trails none of which I would say are suitable for novice riders so ride with care.

It's quirky it's got a history / story behind it and worth going then to go on bramcote hills park for walk and play area both great

Nice area, wish there was a designated car park and it's a shame the main road passes right at the side of the woods. I parked at Bramcote Park and then wandered across to visit the Hemlock Stone. The area is very hilly so might not be suitable for some people. There's a board with some information and history on the place which is very interesting. Area is very clean and on the whole enjoyed walking my dogs here.

Great place for mountain biking. Other users are always friendly in my experience. Some great lines for beginners and the more advanced as well as the jump section at the bottom. Always clean and pretty rubbish free up there too.

Got the tram for a day out from Nottingham and was a great walk and place to go see when nothing is open. It's bigger than you expect!

Nice place to take a walk or a bike ride with or without dogs. Well maintained woods with very little rubbish.

Delightful and historical reasons to post. Used to attend the local ATC and did night exercises up Hemlock stone. A joyous place especially this time of year.

Nice trails built

This is a beautiful place but has been turned into a mountain bike park which is fine if that's your thing... However for walkers and people who enjoy unspoilt woodland and wild life I'm afraid it's been ruined with tracks that have been dug in mountain bikers flying down the routes not at all safe or suitable for family or dog walking.. And don't get me started on the amount of litter and rubbish... Such a shame...

Iv been visting this place on and off for 20 years riding MTBs I never leave dissapointed always happy, normally bleading or with a broken bike

A great little oddity. Worth the drive.

A beautiful sacred space, zimming with natural energy. Very steep and paths are narrow and gravelled. Great spot for a calming short walk.
