The intriguing ancient standing stones known as The Hurlers stand on a remote part of Bodmin Moor near the village of Minions, near Liskeard, Cornwall, SW England, UK. The site comprises of three granite stone circles varying between 108-138 feet (33-42m) in diameter. The stones show evidence of having been worked to smooth them. The name originates in a legend that men who were playing Cornish Hurlers on a Sunday were magically turned to stone as a punishment for playing on the sabbath. Nearby stand two other monoliths known as the Pipers (who legend has it played music on a Sunday). There are also barrows, cairns, quoits, stone rows and hut circles in the vicinity. Archaeological excavations and analysis estimate the stones date from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (about 2000-1000BC) and were possibly used for ceremonial, processional and ritual purposes given their alignments. Of the 150 prehistoric stone circles in England, 16 are on Bodmin Moor. With this grouping the site...
Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...

Thank you Breena, much appreciated
Sharon McConnell
Wonderful capture of these ancient stones! L/F
Richard Brookes replied:
Thank you Sharon, it's quite difficult to convey the scale as it is a big, exposed upland site of three circles. Golden hour light seems to suit best when there are long shadows and low angle light to highlight the stones... also there is usually less people around!

William Tasker
To have access to such ancient sites must be thrilling. Wonderful shot here, Richard! L/F
Richard Brookes replied:
Hi William, thank you. Yes it is amazing to have this much history around and to be able to walk amongst it. We know so little about these sites which makes them more enigmatic! The location is stunning with distant views across upland moorland areas - maybe it aligns with other sites, topographical features or the stars...
