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.

Wonderful scenery with breathtaking views across Bodmin Moor and beyond. A gentle walk to the Cheesewring passing Daniel Gumps old "house" gives you an idea of what it was like many years ago. Occasional climbers in the quarry below the Cheesewring make interesting watching. Good choice of cafes and a pub in Minnions

Archaeologists and historians still don't know what purpose these subterranean tunnels served nearly 2,000 years ago.

Small buried stone chamber with 2 further passages off. The one in front is probably too tight a squeeze but the one on the left opens up soon after the entry hole. Wind up torches are a nice touch. Follow the green arrows from the rear of the "all other parking" area in Trelowarren Estate. Note the one at the end of the field is gone but the trace of a disc on a pole can be seen (points left by the way). Follow the lane right, before the houses and continue to field the sign is to the left and steps a little further on. Otherwise you will end up tramping through people's back gardens...It is only small but it's free and it's an adventure

Firstly, please don't expect a huge monument when visiting. You'll see from the photos that the site is just a couple of stone pillars in a plot of land the size of a typical back garden. That said it is worth a visit if you are passing on the A38; it's about a three mile each way detour. It's not well sign posted and the first you will know is when you see the layby that has room for 2-3 cars. So park up and hop out and see this unique free to park and free to visit piece of English history. There is a plaque there giving you the whole story. If you allowed a whole hour including the time to take the detour you would have time to spare. It's also very close to Golitha Falls and the Hurlers so be sure to visit there too. If you set aside 4+ hours you could do the three sites comfortably
