Prehistoric Sites in Cornwall
See standing stones and the remains of very early sites and Cornish settlements
This area of Cornwall has many ancient sites to visit, including stone circles, standing stones and the remains of settlements, including our very own stone circle Boscawen–un, right here on the farm and the Merry Maidens stone circle close by.
Not far from Trelew, you will find the Merry Maidens stone circle. Reputedly dating from the Bronze Age, the circle was probably used in pagan ceremonies. Or take a walk along the Trelew Farm Nature Trail which leads to our very own stone circle, Boscawen–un.
There are many quoits to see including Lanyon Quoit, which is right next to the road towards the north coast. Others involve a walk through the countryside such as Men an Tol, Mulfa and Chun.
