On our way around the tip of Cornwall we began to venture back in search of The Merry Maidens stone circle. Kal had been there before and it was highly recommended. Given the beautiful weather we were having – forecast was for rain all weekend – we were in high spirits and eager to get to as many places as possible. So, when we rounded a corner and I spotted a brown sign saying “Celtic Chapel and Well” – that was enough to stop and consider if we could venture “off course”. Of course we could! To Boswarthan!
As we drove into the small car parking area over the rough terrain and parked respectfully, we stepped out into proper summer heat. At last! summer’s here! Then we both noticed the strength of the subtle energies around us – we were being PULLED down the path through the trees nearby! Well, if that’s not a sign that we should be in this place, then we didn’t know what was.

At every turn in the path new green delights made me raise my camera for another shot, or stand gazing lovingly at the twisted roots, the spray of leaves or the interplay between the sunlight and the shade. ‘Celtic’ sites seem to be placed in the most beautiful locations in these islands. Such good taste our forefathers and foremothers had!
