wikipedia:
Boskednan stone circle (grid reference SW434351) is a partially restored prehistoric stone circle near Boskednan, around 4 miles (6 kilometres) northwest of the town of Penzance in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The megalithic monument is traditionally known as the Nine Maidens or Nine Stones of Boskednan, although the original structure may have contained as many as 22 upright stones around its 69-metre perimeter.
The stone circle is in southwest Cornwall north of the road from Madron to Morvah, and is approximately 1 km northwest of the village of Boskednan and can only be reached on foot. The enigmatic Mên-an-Tol stones (which may also be the remains of a stone circle) are less than 1 kilometre to the southwest.[1]Stone circles such as that at Boskednan, were erected in the late Neolithic or in the early Bronze Age by representatives of a Megalithic culture. The first mention of the stone circle in modern times, in 1754, is found in the work Antiquities, historical and monumental, of the County of Cornwall by William Borlase, who reported 19 upright standing stones. William Copeland Borlase, a descendant of the earlier Borlase, conducted excavations and found a cist and a funerary urn near the stone circle, dating from the early Bronze Age. Borlase described his discoveries in 1872 in his work Naenia Cornubiae, which concerns prehistoric monuments of Cornwall.[3]

Places to see in ( Penzance - UK )

Penzance is a town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, in England, United Kingdom. Penzance is the most westerly major town in Cornwall and is about 75 miles west of Plymouth and 300 miles west-southwest of London. Situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay, the town of Penzance faces south-east onto the English Channel, is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn, to the north by the civil parish of Madron and to the east by the civil parish of Ludgvan. The civil parish includes the town of Newlyn and the villages of Mousehole, Paul, Gulval and Heamoor.

The A30 from London to Land’s End is a trunk road as far as the Chy-an-Mor roundabout, a mile (1.6 km) to the east of Penzance. After bypassing Penzance to the north the road continues to Land’s End mainly as a rural A route. The distance from Penzance to London is 275 miles (443 km) or about 5 hours by car. Penzance railway station is at the eastern end of Market Jew Street and close to the harbour. It is the southernmost station on the UK mainland rail network. It is the western terminus of the Cornish Main Line which runs above the beach to Marazion, affording passengers good views of St. Michael's Mount and Mount's Bay. A ferry service operates between Penzance Harbour and the Isles of Scilly. The Scillonian III, carries both foot-passengers and cargo. Sailing time is about 2 hours and 40 minutes. For 49 years, Penzance Heliport had a helicopter route to the Isles of Scilly run by British International.

Large sections of Penzance are classified as ″conservation areas″ under the Penwith local plan and are subject to special planning laws. The current conservation area forms most of the core of the town of Penzance and the historic harbour areas of Newlyn and Mousehole. Penzance's former main street Chapel Street has a number of interesting features, including the Egyptian House, the Union Hotel (including a Georgian theatre which is no longer in use) and Branwell House, where the mother and aunt of the famous Brontë sisters once lived.

Also of interest is the seafront with its promenade and the open-air seawater Jubilee Bathing Pool (one of the oldest surviving Art Deco swimming baths in the country), built during Penzance's heyday as a fashionable seaside resort. Penzance promenade has been destroyed in parts several times by storms. The most recent example was on 7 March 1962 (Ash Wednesday), when large parts of the western end of the promenade, the nearby Bedford Bolitho Gardens (now a play park) and the village of Wherrytown suffered severe damage.

Enchanting Boscawen-Un Cornwall

We were very lucky to video this fantastic site with all the wild flowers growing around it.This ancient stone circle with centre upright has a special place in Cornish Lore.
It was a meeting place for druids.During Medieval times this circle was recorded as being one of the three major Druidic meeting places, and even today it continues to be the place of worship of the modern Cornish Gorsedd.


But long before that it may have been part of a godess moon worship culture.One stone is white and different to the others.20 stones are present including the centre stone.19 stones form the circle,the same number as the lunar cycle of 19 years.The centre stone now leaning was probably fully erect when first created.The circle and centre stone were created for some purpose which is unknown to us now.Clearly the male-female symbology is evident to us but we cannot be sure that this was intended at all as no written records from the circle culture exist.

Unique Duloe Stone Circle Cornwall

Video film of this enigmatic and unusual small stone circle.Duloe is unique in some ways as the size,shape and colour of the stones make it so.Video taken in late winter.White stones are said to relate to the moon worship and goodess moon by some writers.There is a white quartz stone at Boscowen Un stone circle which possibly supports this hypothesis.
This circle is best visited in summer and spring when the ground is dry.We obviously have to visit out of season so that the sites are not co-visited by strangers who may object to being shown on youtube.

Cheryl Straffon, Megalithic Cornwall, and the Goddess, Part I

St Clether Holy Well Cornwall

Tucked away in complete isolation and only reachable by a footpath across a moorland meadow, the small chapel stands between the river and an outcrop of limestone rocks. The spring bubbles up behind the chapel and then the water flows under the altar and leaves the building to join the river below. Possibly originally built in the 5th Century by a Welsh saint named St Clederus the well was rebuilt in the 15th Century and restored in 1895.

Sancreed Holy Well & Ancient Chapel

Sancreed Holy Well is down a path which is opposite to Sancreed church.
The well is Pagan and is from before Christianity was around. It got lost for hundreds of years under thickets until it was found by the vicar in the 19th century. Juliette Shanks, from Sancreed, looked after the well. She now has a plaque.
There is also a lot of ionizing radiation in the well. This is because of the granite. The water is also quite deep and is deeper than most holy wells.
People still come to the well sometimes to perform rituals. They will bath in the well and then pull of some of their shirt and hang it on the tree (but most of the bits of clothes on the tree are bought there by people who are just visiting).
Next to the well is a chapel. Inside the chapel there is a 15th century carved stone. The chapel is a small rectangle building that is ruined.
The Celtic Cross was put there in 1910.
