Description
Lanyon Quoit, one of Cornwall's well known Quoits. Spent the sunset here and afterwards went to Carn Kenidjack. Now there's a place that is creepy with the paranormal at the best of times, and we went there when it was getting dark!

Nice choice to compose it off centre to allow the flowers some limelight."Lanyon" is one of those names just made for the Cornish accent - "Laaaaaanyunn" !

Which part of Cornwall is this? We've just been there, but only saw a small part of it, and not any of these.

Nearest big main town would be Penzance, so right down the tip of Cornwall.

It's Neolithic, probably 2500BC. It did collapse during a storm in the 1800's but was re-erected minus one of the 4 main pillar stones as one had broken.
