    historical and atmospheric

    Easily accessible and stunning location slightly off the beaten track but worth the side trip on the way down to Land's End.

    Very Quiet and Peaceful

    The stones are well hidden on the road from Penzance to Lands End near to Lands End airport. There is a tiny plaque in a small layby on the left (from Penzance) to inform you that you have reached the stones. The layby will allow...More
