    Hiking

    The Rocky Valley Rock Engravings are mysterious labyrinthine inscriptions carved into a rock face near the ruin of Millitech, an old watermill in the picturesque Rocky Valley near Tintagel.

    The engravings consist of two circular maze patterns that have remained virtually untouched over the centuries. The exact origin and age of the inscriptions remain a mystery to this day. Many stories link the patterns to the Bronze Age or Celtic rituals, while historians and archaeologists suspect they were created in the nineteenth century by a local miller or a wandering visitor.
