This is the latest i have seen about the giants of Plymouth...am i right in thinking there are two hills outside Cambridge named after them?

Cornwall and giants go hand in hand and there are far too many tales for me to repeat at this god forsaken hour...but we had at least one "real" giant and that was Anthony Payne who fought for the Royalists during the Civil War and later became a favourite of King Charles II.

There are the Gogmagog hills over there. TC found a hillfigure at Wandlebury after being inspired by Geoffrey of Monmouth's tales (which also included the figures at Plymouth) and tracing local lore and place names. TC's figure is still denied by the 'establishment'.
