Cornwall

During March 2015, I visited Cornwall, the land of Saints and Sinners. There are many sacred sites, stone circles, holy wells in Cornwall and every other place seems to be named after a saint.

Using the book Sacred England by John Mitchell and the ordnance survey map 102, I was able to visit many sites, including

The Holy Wells of Sancreed and St Euny

Adam's Earth took a dip in the Holy waters of Sancreed Holy Well. The tree nearby has many ribbons presumably put there by people who received healing from these waters. The Sacred England book says "Frequenters of holy wells have called it the most spiritual place in Cornwall".

This is a picture of a tree that has rooted itself on solid rock. The rock covers the well at St Euny.

Boscawen-un Stone Circle

A beautifully preserved stone circle near St Buryan church just off the A30 from penzance to Land's end. I circumambulated the stone circle three times, with the wish that the United Kingdom becomes a neutral power. This is based on a BBC strap line to a service in St Paul's that was being broadcast on 13th March. I saw this in Barclay's bank in Penzance. The strap line was the memorial service was for the end of war. Yippee I said - but then it became clear - the service was for the end of war in Afghanistan. Well that is a start!
