If you like planes and helicopters this is well worth a stop. There were constant rounds of helicopters and a several planes taking off. No toilets, which was a bit of a shame but it is free to park and watch

Otherwise known as 'The Longstone', this standing stone is situated in the middle of a field about 200 metres northeast of the settlement of Tremenheere, near St. Keverne. Indeed, the name of the hamlet comes from the stone in that 'Tremenheere' means 'farm or homestead of the long stone (menhir)' in Cornish. The 3 metre tall Standing Stone consists of the local gabbro rock rather than the more common granite and is best accessed via the public footpath between Tremenheere and Trevallack.
8. Bickford Smith Institute
