There is a small section of lay-by to park, maybe 3 cars at a push. A small walk along a well used path will take you straight to the circle. About halfway on your right you will see the Giants Footprint. The stone circle is accessed via a stone stile. Quite a secluded spot and well worth a visit, we find these places quite thought provoking. So much to see in the local area so try and visit some of the others.

The quartz stone seems to have some sensual properties that you are able to detect through your hands. Site is very peaceful and reflective, well worth a visit even by sceptics of paranormal behaviours.

Boscawen-Ûn stone circle Located in Cornwall, UK. The stone circle at Boscawen-ûn is considered to be one of Cornwall's most popular prehistoric ceremonial centres. The stone circle consists of a central standing stone encircled by 19 other stones, including 18 made of grey granite and one of bright quartz. The oval circle has diameters 24.9 and 21.9 metres (82 and 72 ft). There is a west-facing gap in the circle, which may have formed an entrance. The large central stone has a feet or axe️ petroglyph. These engravings are unusual in the United Kingdom, though they can also be observed on some of the stones at Stonehenge.
