Boscowan-un stone circle

Boscowan-un stone circle

Boscowan-un stone circle, between Penzance and Lands End. Small stone circle with an additional upright in the centre, and a burial cist half in and half out of the circle. It is in its own walled and hedged enclosure, accessed by footpath – best part of a mile from the busy A30 road. In the distance there are views of the sea and, supposedly, the better known and more accessible Merry Maidens stone circle.

Turnstones, Newlyn harbour

Turnstone, Newlyn harbour

On a recent visit to the south-west, it seemed every time I went near the sea there was a small flock of turnstones feeding, oblivious to human presence. These were just inside the harbour gate at Newlyn.
