Giant's Cricket Bat Haunting
La Longue Rocque, St Peter Port
La Longue Rocque, a spot on the Guernsey coast, is home to a rather unusual legend. This 350 centimetre tall stone, affectionately known as Cricket Bat or Grande Pierre, is said to be a giant's cricket bat that was thrust into the earth after a game went awry. The story goes that one giant refused to fetch the ball, prompting the other to abandon his bat in frustration. It's a tale that's been passed down through generations, leaving behind a fascinating piece of local folklore.
