Spiderdrone visited on 26th Feb 2022 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Parking in the local car park for the castle, this is pay and display with ACRN at the entry with 30 mins free parking. There is very basic toilets in the local area but a wonderful beach. Lots of single roads and passing places from the main road towards the beach parking.

Standing Stone to the East of Porthluney Bay submitted by Bladup : Porthluney Standing Stone, I'm not too sure this is an ancient standing stone, It's probably more likely to be a modern cattle rubbing stone or a recently stood up stone for any number of reasons (Vote or comment on this photo)

Standing Stone to the East of Porthluney Bay submitted by Bladup : Porthluney Standing Stone, I've no idea whether this is an ancient standing stone or a modern cattle rubbing stone, It's bigger than a rubbing stone would normally be but your guess is as good as mine
