The Ancient Landscape of the Far West of Cornwall.
'The Far West' of Cornwall has the most complete prehistoric landscape in the British Isles. Within an area of a few square miles we find excellent example of ancient monuments and the remains of settlements constructed across the last five millennium of Britain's prehistory. We begin with the establishment of the first settled farming communities in the 'New Stone Age', and ends with the arrival of the Roman legions and the start of the written history of these islands.Ancient Stones of Kernow's standard full-day tour visits monuments and settlements built across the whole of this vast expanse of time. We commence with the dolmens, known locally as quoits, built in the Neolithic, and finish at the settlements of courtyard houses that are unique to the 'Iron Age' in Cornwall.
We now also offer a selection of half-day tours which includes, for those interested in the history of mining, the option of a visit to Botallack in the heart of West Cornwall's World Heritage mining district, with an opportunity to view film locations from the BBC television series, Poldark.
