This whole area is very confusing... and the OS map don't help much either. I have come home and read through a couple of books and I am still not exactly sure which stones are which. Looking at Pure Joys postings I am even more confused... There are several groups of stones dotted around the downs, many more cairns/barrows than are marked on the OS map and although I found two parts of the stone row I am still not sure what the line is that runs between them on the OS map? This was obviously an important area in the past, with the Colvanick Stone Row just across the A30 and the Stipple Stones and Trippet Stones within walking distance to the north west. Sadly it is all a bit confusing now and it takes quite a bit of walking around to find everything. As for parking, turn off the A30 and take the road to St Breward. There are several places you can park beside the road before you reach the Trippet Stones. Then it is just a case of heading west up on to the downs. Easy really....good luck!
