Mên-an-Tol

The age of this megalithic formation is estimated to be between 3000 and 4000 years. There are a number of legends surrounding this cultural site. For one, women can become pregnant if they crawl through the "Devil's Eye" - the hole stone - seven times during the full moon. On the other hand, children are protected from diseases when they are passed through the hole. Well, whatever belief you may follow, the site is a fascinating place.

This site can be visited at any time of the day or night - but one should not be disappointed with the "size" of the site. The megaliths look huge in photos, but in reality they are only between 1 m and 1.5 m high.

Mên-an-Tol is a Cornish language meaning hole stone. A special megalithic formation about 1 km away from the road.
