I am magnetically attracted to Twelve Men’s Moor every time I visit Cornwall. The landscape is a unique mix of spectacular rock formations, ancient cairns, and post-industrial remains. I like to revisit old friends, Kilmar Tor Quoit and the Pyramid Stone, to renew my acquaintance.

Found upslope of the Twelve Men’s cairn this wonderful lump sits proud on its base just as if someone had sited it there.
