Mên-an-Tol

Devon, Wales, Cheshire.
Walked across the causeway to St Michael’s Mont, returned by boat. Lunched on Cornish pasties.
An unusual and attractive Cornish site, the Mên-an-Tol is believed to belong to the Bronze Age, making it around 3,500 years old. It consists of four stones, the most memorable being the circular and pierced upright stone. Passing through the hole was central to the healing process - with its obvious feminine symbolism, the holed stone was believed to aid fertility and its powers were sought by barren women, pregnant women seeking easy childbirth and famers seeking bountiful crops! Brit gave it a go!
