If you love walking you'll really enjoy discovering this ancient site near Ding Dong Mine. In walking distance is the stone circle called the Maidens, and Lanyon Farm can offer cream teas.

This is an ancient fertility stone with a hole in the middle with lots of myths around it! It's a fabulous walk with the Nine Maidens stone circle, and Ding Dong mine stack a little further on

One of the best known megalithic structures in Britain, the grand name simply means ‘holed stone’. The small site is worth seeking out, perhaps on a circular route to include Ding Dong mine and the Nine Maidens stone circle. I like to park at Carn Galver mine on the B3306 where there’s a little parking area, then walk up to the dominating Carn Galver (once believed to be the home of the gods) then follow the path to Nine Maidens and on to Ding Dong, then return via Mên an Tol.

Tradition has it you should remove your clothes prior to climbing through the stone; cameras ready everyone!

Mên an Tol (shown at top of page) is an archaeological monument comprising a circular holed stone and two upright stones, believed to date from the Bronze Age. The name is from the Cornish words 'maen' meaning 'stone' 'an' meaning 'the' and 'tol' meaning 'hole'. It is thought to possess healing powers and many visitors pass through the centre of the stone in honour of this tradition. It’s located on the same road as the Lanyon Quoit, nearer to Morvah and also on the left hand side of the road (when travelling from Morvah) A small sign on the right at the parking area on Bosullow Common will indicate the beginning of the footpath you’ll need to take, it’s an easy 15 minute walk.
