The Hurlers Stone Circles

Nearest Town: Liskeard, Cornwall

OS Grid Reference: SX 258 714

Directions: Signposted, on the outside of the village of Minions, which can be reached from the B3254 north of Liskeard. Good car park, short walk, fine in all but the worst weathers. Following the B3254 will take you to Duloe Stone Circle.

Site Notes: An amazing site, which due to weather and time I could not do justice to with my meagre photos. Three, large stone circles in a line proceeding uphill, a pair of outliers (The Pipers) all in a wonderful moorland setting, focused on the natural rock outcrop known as the Cheesewring. The third circle may be ruined now, but with time to explore, you begin take in the feel of this site. Probably my favourite site in the south west so far.
