Description
Lanyon Quoit, one of Cornwall's well known Quoits. Spent the sunset here and afterwards went to Carn Kenidjack. Now there's a place that is creepy with the paranormal at the best of times, and we went there when it was getting dark!

Absolutely breathtaking. I love the foxgloves against the sky.

Nice choice to compose it off centre to allow the flowers some limelight."Lanyon" is one of those names just made for the Cornish accent - "Laaaaaanyunn" !

Nearest big main town would be Penzance, so right down the tip of Cornwall.

It's Neolithic, probably 2500BC. It did collapse during a storm in the 1800's but was re-erected minus one of the 4 main pillar stones as one had broken.

Love the digitalis in the foreground - a lovely touch.
