Looking out across the great pit is like a scene from a sci fi film

These mines have been worked since the early Bronze age and many repeated attempts to extract copper right up to the present day
Amazing colours from the copper and other minerals contained within the rock and soil
Once again stretching out in front of you taking your breath away in awe, love this place
Great walk there and back from Norsworthy Bridge, up and over Down Tor
Well, I followed advice and went past the refuge and then back on myself to the corner of the field, jumped the stream and found Yellowmead with dry feet
Such an interesting circle, trying to work out exactly is going on here
A secondary row, the site is best appreciated by following an aerial photo to understand the full glory of what is going on here
The whole magnificent complex covering the hill side, stone rows, cairns, pounds, you need a lot of time to explore this site, truly remarkable place
The magnificent primary stone row stretching out up the hill side
I assume this is the same kerbed cairn, just looks slightly different (apologies all photos are washed out)
A lot going on, on this small hillside with a number of cairns, circles and stone row
Stone row leading its way to this most interesting circle just North of Brisworthy
Rather taken by surprise at the size of this circle and the wonderful atmosphere despite being relatively close to civilisation, a place to linger
There is a small plantation to the west of Brisworthy with a rather deeply rutted car park (need good ground clearance or 4x4), easy to find from here
These are the ‘Giants’ of Kerzerho just up a short footpath from the alignment. A true sense of awe
Lots of photos of Carnac already on here so thought I would just add a couple to show how pretty it is in the October sunshine
Pretty little row/alignment of 3 standing stones, guessing there were many more originally stretching across the small island
3rd stone in the alignment, however, due to the contour difficult to see the other two
This is one very impressive dolmen, located on the coast close to a small fishing village, huge contrast to the photos taken by ‘Jane’ just 12 years ago
A little like the best album you’ve never heard this was most certainly the most impressive cairn Id never heard of
Bit of a trek out to this alignment, however, a rewarding place to visit if in the area
Clearly originally part of a much bigger landscape, however, lots of uncertainty as to the original extent and shape of the various alignments
The beauty of this alignment lies within the individual stones rather than the general landscape
