Louden menhirs
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Apr 2005
Louden menhirs submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Apr 2005. On the southern slopes of Louden Hill, where the new trackway descends the hill are the remains of an ancient settlement, remains of which can be seen all around in this picture.

Maen Castle submitted by thecaptain on 31st Aug 2008. Jim's mention of Dr Syntax's head prompted me to search though some of my old pictures this dull damp August afternoon, rather than being out searching for the real thing.
This is Dr Syntax's head, which gives its name to that part of Lands End.
