A lovely unspoilt pub, cool on a hot day, serving very decent bitter (Tinner's) and some frightening local cider. Large beer-garden or shady interior, also serves pub food. Well worth a visit after a hard day's stone spotting! No telly, no fruit machines, perfect!
The website features a prominent photo of the Quoit.
Accommodation is available but I haven't stayed so can't comment on that. |

Twin interests are music and prehistory - music obviously includes Mr Cope, but wide variety of other things including Durutti Column, New Order/Joy Division, Billy Bragg, Smiths, Chameleons, Cardiacs, 50s rock'n'roll, etc. Many hols (and every opportunity) spent dragging very patient girlfriend to see vaguely discernable stone lumps obscured by mud and vegetation, particularly in West Penwith, also the Peak District and Herefordshire/Shropshire. Used to live in Yorkshire (Blakey Topping and High Bridestones being favourites) now live in Gloucestershire and pining for stone circles. Also blaming TMA in general and Gladman in particular for increasing levels of obsession where Wales is concerned. And now also blaming Drewbhoy for the urge to move to Drewland, RSC Central. No car (and can't drive) so sites are visited by public transport and on foot, which is still just about possible, despite the efforts of our beloved government to reduce/stop less profitable services by cutting funding everywhere. Working for a government scheme designed to kill your dreams. Appreciate a nice pint after a hard day's stone spotting (particularly in the Tinners Arms at Zennor).
