This can be seen near the entrance to the Bamboo Labyrinth at Alnwick Garden:

"On entering The Labyrinth there is a boulder with an encryption saying “only dead fish swim with the stream” a statement epitomising the design philosophy behind The Alnwick Garden. The four tonne boulder was hand picked from a hillside in Hulne Park place in Alnwick from an area known as the Bowling Green."
The Duchess of Northumberland adds:
“We wanted to create a place beauty which could be enjoyed by visitors throughout the year, whether it is on a dark winter’s day or summer evening. It has been created in one of the windiest parts of The Garden which means the bamboo will always be moving and rustling. We hope the combination of movement and sound will present an extraordinary vision for our visitors.
The Labyrinth also presents an unusual form of puzzle. Once you have started, the task is always to keep moving smoothly forwards, and never turn back. The whole experience is designed to amuse you and I think children will love it.”
