Vandring

Britain has tens of thousands of stone circles (the largest being Avebury, which encircles an entire Wiltshire village), but the trio of circles known as the Hurlers is one of our favourites to walk to. High on Bodmin Moor, near the village of Minions, the three circles are thought to be all that remains of a group of boys who went out to play the traditional game of hurling one Sunday, instead of going to church – and were turned to stone for their sacrilege. According to local legend, it’s impossible to count the same number of stones twice.

Vandring

Three beautiful Neolithic or Early Bronze Age stone circles arranged in a line, a unique grouping in England.

The Hurlers Stone Circles are probably the best examples of ceremonial circles in the South West.

The Hurlers are three stone circles on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Legend has it that these were Cornish Hurler players, caught out on a Sunday and punished. They are thought to date to between 2,100 & 1,500 BCE.
