Hurlers Stone Circles — Attraction in Linkinhorne

This is a beautiful location that I have come to multiple times either for my photography projects, to admire the nature of just for a hike. It’s a lovely and fairly quiet location for when you want some downtime away from towns and cities. The stone circles date back hundreds if not thousands of years with beautiful connotations and historical uses like many stone circles across the globe. One thing that interests me the most is the legends surrounding it, that it got its name through supposedly being a group of men punished for playing the ancient Cornish game of ‘Hurling’ on a Sunday by being turned to stone. This is similar with the two pipers stones who were supposedly men playing tunes on a Sunday. In reality, these stones were used in many pagan and Druid celebrations and ceremonies, but it is a fascinating story...

Stunning landscape and surrounded by sheep and cows which makes these circles feel lived in, loved and welcoming. Try walking around and touching the stones asking them permission to enter each circle. Stand and wait for an answer. See if you sway in a certain direction for yes or no. What happens if you set an intention to connect to the land, circles and ancient ancestors and sit for a while, or sing and dance together? Why not take a journal, sit with a stone and see what unfolds. Try it with another and another... I take my crystals and connect time and time again. It's fun and fantastically Wyrd. ...
