Trengwainton Gardens

Holed Stone

thesweetcheat Jun 9, 2025

Visited by accident 20 June 2024. I haven’t been able to find out anything about this stone, which is in the walled garden at National Trust Trengwainton, next to a pond. It’s a ringer for the Tregeseal holed stones near St Just, but I have no idea if it’s the real thing or a copy.
