Stones of Tregeseal: An Audio Tour of West Cornwall’s Prehistory

40 minutes to 1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

West Cornwall has a rich and captivating history going back over 4,500 years to the Bronze Age.

On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll follow in the footsteps of some of its earliest inhabitants. While you journey across the landscape, you’ll hear about what drove them to settle, farm and build here, and what their day-to-day lives would have looked like.

Our tour starts at Portheras, an impressive round barrow where the remains of cremated dead were laid, and ends at the celebrated stone circle, Tregeseal East.

Along the way, you’ll pass well-known and lesser-known sites, including the Carn Kenidjack, which dominates the skyline and offers wonderful views of the western coastline. You’ll also visit an unusual inscribed stone which is possibly the burial place of St Just.
