I find something magical about the process of creating a startrail picture. Sitting under the stars for three or four hours with no lights so my eyes have adjusted to the dark so well that I don't need any additional light. Gazing at the vastness of the universe, spotting meteors, satellites, aircraft, all in complete silence. I don't really sleep because ...

Log Text: The third time I've visted the site, still as magical - to the north, but not far (I believe) of the stones under a bush is a small plastic box with a local schools story of how the stones arrived there. Wonderful little surprise!
Of course, a friend and I went through the stone several times to make sure we wouldn't get any rickets.

Take the road south through Mabe Burnthouse (SW of A39, W of Penryn & Falmouth). When the church becomes clearly visible, take the junction to the right on a sharp bend. The church is on the left and convenient parking adjacent the cemetery.

London Stone

Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Would like to visit
London Stone submitted by Thorgrim on 1st Apr 2004. Once considered to be the guardian of the City and the place where all distances from London were measured, the London Stone now sits almost forgotten in a little glass box set into the wall of 111, Cannon Street opposite the Underground Station at TQ326809. Very difficult to photograph because of the internal light and glass. It is very low to the pavement and I put my compact digital to the glass and hoped for the best!
The Stone is a fragment of oolithic limestone and must have been brou...
