Cornwall has scores of megalithic sites; we visited just a major few. Many have been destroyed or re-cycled into fences, fence-posts, houses, barns, scratching posts, etc. Lanyon Quoit is the largest of Cornwall's dolmens, but it is really out there, on an unnamed road between two hamlets, in or very near Bodmin Moor. We finished up so late we wound up "camping" at the intersection (the wide part of a "Y") of two unnamed roads. Fortunately, there is not much traffic in these places, and the morning view of St. Michael's was great.

Lanyon Quoit (dolmen's are called "quoits" here); tall
enough (for me) to walk under

Another view; originally buried, of course

The National Trust is everywhere; but where was the gift
shop and the membership station? and the cafe and the
garden store? and who gifted Lanyon Quoit to the Trust?
and where's the folly?
