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.

Insider tipy

  • Wear sturdy shoes as the ground can be uneven and muddy.
  • Bring a wide-angle lens for capturing the stone circle fully.
  • Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and catch dramatic light.
  • Skip heavy backpacks as the site is small and walks are short.
