Restored in the 1860s, this 23.8-metre stone circle is Cornwall’s pride and joy. Each of the nineteen stones, which represent maidens that were turned to stone according to tradition, is around a metre high and spaced at regular intervals. A large gap is located at the east, which may indicate an astronomically related entrance to the circle. Access to the site can be gained from just off the B3315 from Penzance.
