1. Merry Maidens

4.5 based on 208 reviews
One of England's best-preserved and complete ancient stone circles consisting of 19 granite stones that form a perfect circle nearly 78 feet in diameter.
Reviewed By SClond - London, United Kingdom
We saw the merry maidens from the upper deck of a bus thanks to a tip off from a local after we had been excited by an earlier view of a single standing stone on the same A1 bus route. The bus waited there quite a long time and we realised it was because the bus driver had stopped to pop out and. take photos of the maidens. The local said he had been using the bus for 30 years but had never seen a driver stop to take pictures before.
2. Madron Well

Reviewed By DenJayne - West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Decided to find Madron Well. We parked cars at the church and walked up through the village towards the Carn and onto Madron Wishing Well. Our walk took in buzzards and kites arobatic displays and then we reached the path to St Madron Well. A squelchy, muddy, dirty path took as to the well. Due to the rain the well was flooded. So we back tracked to the wishing tree and well. Quite a spiritual place. Onto the small St Madron chapel. Good muddy walk enjoyed by us all regardless of how mucky we all were

Quieter street than the main road through the centre of town, but with plenty of interest: quirky shops, art galleries and inviting pubs, all within easy reach of the sea and the town centre.

Easy parking starts this walk off well! A slight incline uphill along a wide track leads to Men-an-tol and then on to great views over St Michael's Mount.
