Hi sleeptowin,

My favourite Cornish places are those on the Lands End peninsula, especially the coast between Mousehole and Lands End.

Coming across the Merry Maidens stone circle and the burial chamber hard against the road is incredible. The area feels like an age apart from the rest of Britain; almost like time has left it behind. Apart from the roads and field boundaries, I can imagine that little else has changed since prehistoric times, although I'm probably wrong. There are some barrows on the cliff tops, most of which would be missed by most people, but what a fantastic situation.

On the north coast of the peninsula I do like Carn Gluze, although it does have a strange, sinister atmosphere about it and I'm not a person who believes in the paranormal.

Regards,

TE.
