Duloe Stone Circle View all content for Duloe

Visited 16.4.15 Directions: In the village of Duloe on the B3254. Sign posted from the road – pedestrian access only from road. We parked outside the village hall, a short distance to the north. Karen chose to stay in the car whilst I led the children up the road to the stone circle. We passed a group of young children being taught how to safely ride their bike on the road and make a right hand turn. It was nice to see their teachers doing this and hopefully will reduce the risk of future accidents? We soon arrive at the circle and the girls made for the lambs, Dafydd for the stones and I for the information board. Oddly enough the information board states there are 8 stones here but I counted 9 (albeit one very small) See Mr Hamhead's notes. The white of the stones shone brightly against the deep blue of the sky. All was quiet except for the low bleating of the lambs lying in the warm sunshine – wonderful. Duloe is one of several famous sites I managed to visit during my week in Cornwall and (as with the others) I was not disappointed. This is a superb stone circle to visit with very easy access. It is remarkable that these sites have managed to survive all these years despite being so close to housing etc. If you are ever in the area this is a ‘must see’ site.
