A very lovely view can be had from here of St Michael's Mount. Accessible during mid to low tide, it is a beautiful place to visit via its granite causeway.

But even here in southwest England – beyond the European mainland, off the British Isles – a "St. Michael's Mount" can be found.

Tredrea Lane is a quiet, undulating and beautiful road between St Erth and Gwallon in southern Cornwall. It's a lovely place to ride, and hopefully the caravans will stick to the A30 which runs roughly parallel. This is part of the National Cycle Network long distance route 3 which connects Bristol and Land's End.

The age of this megalithic formation is estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000 years. There are several legends surrounding this cultural site. For one thing, women can become pregnant if they crawl through the "Devil's Eye" - the hole stone - seven times during a full moon. On the other hand, children are protected from illnesses when they are passed through the hole. Well, no matter what faith you 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 by the "size" of the site. Although the megaliths appear huge in photos, in reality they are only between 1 m and 1.5 m high.
