Driving back from the Eden Project, and marked on the OS Map is a viewpoint at the top of Carloggas Down, so went for a look and the views are tremendous. All around are the old china clay quarrying scars, but to the south can see all the way to the sea, very clear in the southeast is St Austell Bay and the daymark on Gribbin is almost shining in the light. Triffic.
Hold on, whats this? There are stones. Its a whole circle. Some of these stones look like proper old standers, but the circle is obviously a new construction.
There's a chap walking his dog, so ask him about it. The hill is a real hill, but was quarried and dumped on all around for centuries, and over the last 10 to 20 years it has all been relandscaped and made into this lovely spot. He said that the whole region is being cleaned up massively, with outdoor trails etc put in linking it all up. Must be costing a fortune to do all of this, but what good work.
Note: Stone circle erected on the top of Caerloggas Down which has been extensively relandscaped following centuries of China Clay quarrying. I wonder whether there was a circle or suchlike here before all the destruction?
