O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Circle of 50 ancient standing stones surrounds four burial cairns in an eerie, misty setting. The stones align precisely with the winter solstice sunset, showing ancient astronomical knowledge.
Zajímavosti: A unique feature is the small, oval cairns covered with green moss that provide a surreal, timeless look. During sunset, the low sun casts long shadows through the stones, creating a mesmerizing light play on the ground beneath.
