In an area called Aguas Tuertas (twisted waters) between the valleys of Hecho and Canfranc is a large flat col that a stream meanders through giving the area it’s name. A dolmen stands at the col in a fabulous location and although it’s only small most people say it’s the prettiest in the region. It’s dated back to 3000 BC and legends say the dolmen is home to the spirits of the region that control access across the pass.

Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Nov 2012
Roche Rock submitted by theCaptain on 6th Nov 2012. Passing on the way to visit the Eden Project, the rock and chapel were lit up by the most amazing silvery sunlight against a dark grey sky.
By the time I had stopped the car and got out, it had gone. I waited a while, and took a couple of pictures, some of which have it fairly well lit, but not so good as the initial view!

St Eval Church Stones submitted by theCaptain on 29th Nov 2012. St Eval churchyard supposedly has several large standing stones within it and the wall surrounding it, but I was unprepared and didn't know how many or where to look; as a result I only found one of the 3 or more standing stones in its surrounding wall.
