Cornwall's Ancient Wonders

Cornwall’s landscape is marked by thousands of years of human history, ranging from Neolithic chambered tombs to Iron Age settlements. This collection includes the iconic Tintagel Castle, associated with Arthurian legend, and well-preserved megalithic structures like Lanyon Quoit and Trethevy Quoit. Notable features include 'fogous'—mysterious underground stone-walled passages found at Carn Euny and Halliggye—and the unique courtyard houses of Chysauster Ancient Village. These sites offer a direct link to the region's prehistoric and medieval past.
