Piskey Led – A Short Tale Ghosts of the old world make their presence still known upon the moors. Known by their ancient stone walls and standing stones that still litter the landscape. The walkers, incongruous in their primary colours, garish symbols of the twenty first century. The group, as per the instructions set for them by the B&B owner that morning, wore their coats inside out.

Discover the Traditions of Imbolc and the Cornish Furry Nights What is Imbolc? Otherwise known as Candlemas, Brigid's or St. Brigit's day, Imbolc is an ancient Celtic fire festival celebrating the first whispers of Spring as winter comes to a close.

Exploring the Mystical History of Merry Maidens The Merry Maidens, one of Penwith’s four remaining stone circles, are a fine example of a Cornish megalithic monument. A perfect seventy-eight-foot circle, consisting of nineteen granite stones of around four foot in height.
