Park on the side of the track leading to Hawk’s Tor Farm. Walk NE past the Trippet Stones, through the first gate and across the small stream. You are now in a narrow lane with sheep pens. There are two more gates in this lane (both were tied shut and I had to climb over them). You can then follow either route to the Stripple Stones (the south route is easier going). The land marked in yellow is private, but I believe this route has been given the OK for access to the stones.

Article on the re-erection of several of the fallen stones.
This is a link to a 360° panorama made from the centre of the circle in June 2019 after the re-erection of several of the fallen stones.
On private land just to the south of Hawk’s Tor on Bodmin Moor stands the Stripple Stones, the only stone circle in Cornwall to be in a henge (a bank and ditch). Originally there were 28 stones of which 15 remain. Some of these are fallen, but most were re-erected during a recent restoration.

Men Gurta is very close to the St Breock Downs windfarm. When the wind is up the atmosphere is broken by the continuous ‘woomph, woomph, woomph’ of the turbine blades.

Less than 100m south of the Men Gurta standing stone lies the St Breock Beacon Kistvaen, a neolithic dolmen tomb (Kist-Vaen means ‘earth-fast’.) Unfortunately the dolmen is surrounded by a sea of waist high gorse and brambles.

Pawton Quoit (also known locally as the Giant’s Quoit) dolmen on the edge of St Breock Downs is thought to have the heaviest capstone (14.4 tonnes) of any in Cornwall. The capstone is now broken in two, but was once 4.6m long.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday photographing both Fernacre and Louden Hill stone circles, including making a 360° panorama of each. It was a beautiful morning and well worth the walk with a heavy camera bag and tripod.
I hope it’s OK to put a link to the one of Fernacre here as there’s no way to add the panorama. (Admin – please delete this if it’s breaking any rules.)
