West Penwith is famous for its standing stones, and there are many examples locally. Our nearest is the Merry maidens.

The Merry Maidens stone circle lies adjacent to the B3315 Newlyn to Treen road, and access is from a lay-by at the western corner of the field.

The site dates from the late Neolithic-early Bronze Age (approx. 2500-1500 BC) and consists of a circle of 19 stones, standing slightly below a ridge of the sloping field.
