What is recorded here

Bowder Stone is shown as a heritage attraction on the public map of Cumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
The Bowder Stone is a large glacial erratic boulder in the English Lake District, traditionally associated with a 17th-century legend involving a giant who supposedly hurled it from the Scafell mountain range. It is important as a local heritage site linked to folklore and the natural history of the region.
