Log Text: Beautiful sunny day spoilt by a scattering of soiled wet wipes left inside one of the side chambers. Luckily I had a dog-poo bag with which to clean it up.

Log Text: Made the mistake of trying to find the well from the bottom of the North slope using an OS map. It would have been much easier from the top!

Log Text: Yet another visit. Walked directly from my front door in the middle of Redruth, to St Euny's Well, up to the North slope of the Carn. Worked my way up to Carn Brea Well and after a brief visit to the west summit and the Basset monument I spent most of my time on the East summit and the remains of the rampart on the Southern slope. Unfortunately, my camera somehow changed settings and the subsequent photos were a little over-exposed.

Log Text: I've logged the condition as a rampart/wall rather than a menhir. As a rampart, it's pretty much destroyed but you can still see the line it took by lining up the stones. Listed in the 1970-73 excavation report as "Rampart 5".

Log Text: Had a nice chat to David Thomas, Cornwall County Council Archivist, about this cross, the Maen Cadoar, North Cliffs and the Basset family. He was waiting for the sun to be at the right angle to highlight the carvings on the cross stem, in order to photograph them for an article. A very nice and knowledgeable man.

Log Text: A nice natural spring with "clouties" but someone's plonked a nasty metal gate on top. Normally visited at the same time as Carn Euny settlement but can also be accessed from the road (Access: 4)

Crane Castle submitted by LiveAndrew on 16th Mar 2021. The view from Crane Castle promontory fort, towards Portreath
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: A battered promontory fort with a very visible ditch and bank and beautiful views. One of my favourite places to stop and sit when walking my dog.
Access from the car-parks (Basset Cove or North Cliffs) is very good now that they have paved the it (suitable for prams and wheelchairs) but the path down to the fort is still narrow and prickly (NOT suitable for prams and wheelchairs).

Log Text: Really easy to spot as it's right in front of the church. Obviously, while you're here, visit the Treslothan Holy Well, about 20 metres up the road from the Cross. Shame about the gravel setting but...

Log Text: If you take the first road to the church from the Carwynnen Quoit towards Troon, the Well is just before you reach the monument outside the church. Great parking and very easy to spot. Obviously, visit the Treslothan Cross, outside the church, while you're here.

Log Text: Only room for one car outside the gate, plus a sign warning not to block access to the private gate right next door. Other than that, it's an easy and short walk through a field to the quoit.

Log Text: Not a great position for privacy as it's in the middle of a busy, town centre.
Very easy to find. Head onto Trelowarren Street, Camborne's main, one-way, shopping street (limited on-street parking but there's a large car park very nearby). Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is on the right-hand side in front of one of the first building right after the square, behind some railings. The gate through the railings was bolted but not locked when I visited, so I briefly opened the bolt, took a few quick photos and retreated. If you move further up Chapel Street about 40 metres, you can see Killivose Cross on the left-hand side.
I recommend parking in the Rosewarne car park for an hour, walking back up to Trelowarren Street. It's then pretty easy to visit the Camborne Cross and Killivose Cross, then walking up Trelowarren Street, across the roundabout to the Church of St Martin & St Meriadoc and then visiting Maen Cadoar menhir/Cross and Ia's Cross (not currently on this site).

Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is in front of the Methodist chapel, a hundred or so metres on the left-hand side of the street. Earlier on this street, on the right-hand side, is the Camborne Cross.
