"I Am" Stone

A weathered slab of stone sits quietly on moorland near Tiverton, carved with the words "I Am" and little else. It's one of those roadside oddities that stops you mid-drive, and honestly, it's worth the five-minute detour to work out what you're looking at. The stone itself isn't ancient - it's a modern piece - but the riddle of its meaning and who left it there gives the spot a genuine edge of intrigue that most tourist attractions can't touch.

You'll need to abandon the car and walk a bit to reach it properly, which keeps the crowds manageable. History buffs will find it less rewarding than actual medieval sites, but for anyone interested in contemporary art, folk puzzles, or just doing something slightly different on a moorland walk, it delivers a talking point. Solo wanderers and photographers tend to get more from it than families with young children - there's no playground or café, just open countryside and philosophical ambiguity.

Allow thirty minutes to find it and stand about looking mystified, weather permitting. Tiverton is your nearest town for supplies and a proper lunch afterwards. If you're basing yourself at Nirvana Glamping nearby, this makes a decent morning outing before heading to bigger attractions. The moorland walk itself is the real draw - the stone is just the excuse to get out here.
