After about 4 hours of walking we began to tire - it was almost too much to walk to Lanyon Quoit, and the tarmac was actually a welcome chance after twisting my ankle a few times on the muddy, rock-strewn paths. We spotted Lanyon Quoit halfway down the hill from Bosiliack Barrow, but the paths sent us on quite a few diversions before we got there.
The site was definitely one of the most physically impressive of the trip, even though it is apparently more Victorian reconstruction than anything else. It's a striking image in a striking landscape, with views back towards the omnipresent Ding Dong mine and Carn Glazer, and one of the few sites we encountered that was actually signposted.
We didn't hang long as it was chucking it down and this Megalithic Gazebo offered very little shelter, the ground beneath the capstone being very muddy and full of cowpats. Looks like the cows love this one.This post appears as part of the weblog entry Visit to Land's End, 03-08/11/01ce |
