Ta muchly. Only doing the SW corner, so basically West of Penzance. Also, I'd like a chance to take in some coastline and to chill while down there, so I only want to do the 'must see' sites. Other stuff can wait until my next visit.

A quickie before I go to work...

Just west of Penzance you've got Madron, Sancreed and Alsia holy wells - all of 'em a dream!

I'll get back to this thread when I get 5 mins... my favourite subject, this! ;o)

Quite right too. Cornwall and Devon are seriously BIG. Stick to West Penwith and take your time I never can see the point of hurtling around trying to do everything in a day. Nice compact but thorough guide is Cheryl Straffon's "Ancient Sites in West Penwith" It's available from Meyn Mamvro and the gazetteer is sound and factual (you can ignore the sacred site references quite easily if that is not your bag) It covers stones, graves, fogous, wells and crosses. Well illustrated, accurate directions and grid refs
