St. Buryan Inn (Pub, St Buryan)

Just an average little pub, but it makes a great base for trips around the local area, it being within walking distance of Boskawen-Un, The Merry Maidens, Tregiffian, Boleigh Fogou etc.

The village of St. Buryan is on a bus-route from Penzance to Land's End, and also has a post office and a Londis with a cash machine and homemade pasties. There's also a local mini cab service (ask at the bar in the pub) which we found useful for ferrying us back to Penzance (£8 from Boleigh) after our feet had become too tired.

The Red Lion Inn (Pub, Marlborough)

Always good for a pint when you're trekking round the Henge.

Spent the night there a couple of years ago, and thought it was perhaps a little expensive, but it is the only pub in the world to be in a stone circle, so maybe we can forgive them.

When I stayed there they had late night and early morning entering/leaving restrictions, so if you stay and want to get up to watch the sun come up - or wander around the area in the dead of night, it might be wise to ask first.

Some reasonable veggie dishes.
