A beautiful place, quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature. A nice place for a walk to get away from it all. There is a small free parking area.
Peaceful and serene historic stones set with a wider rough moorland area. A short trail walk from on road parking. Definitely worth a walk to see them and climb through the circular stone
A peaceful place dating from the prehistoric times. Had lovely evening there although the field was very wet and dump. I would love to visit it again during summer time and spend more time and maybe sit or kay on the soil.
About 15 minutes easy walk from the road along a wide path, followed by a stepped climb over a wall and a walk for another 100 meters. Definitely not accessible unless you are capable of climbing steep stone steps.
Beautiful views all around. The stones are fascinating and very tactile. Lots of space for chilling out or a picnic on the ground.
Not a massive monument but worth a visit. Parking for about 4 to 5 cars at the start and more along the roadside. A fairly easy trek up the lane then turn right from the path, following the sign and after a short walk you find the stones. There is nothing written there to tell you about the history so you just have to look it up for yourself. But it’s a freebee! If you carry on walking past the stones you can reach the old mine up on the hill with some great views. You do have a stream to jump across with a drop of a few feet so I guess there are some access issues along the way but apart from that all fairly easy.
A great place to visit and quite easy to get to.
Good spot for a picnic.
You can also visit a standing stone called Menscrifa which is in the next field along the path to the left.
This is a fine site that is easily accessible on the moor.
The road is a turn south off the B3306
There is a parking for around 4 cars close to the path of this site (50.153595163384026, -5.6149119102692655) The pathway is marked and the walk is an easy 1.2KM (15 minutes) from here. Look for a sign on the path by a a stile to cross the field.
A pilgrimage every time we are down here - perhaps partly because the first time we found it we'd trekked across country, had an encounter with an adder and then suddenly came across this magical sight in a clearing (even though it's quite easy to get to from the road).
An amazing area. The stones are magical, short walk up a lane from a small free parking area.
