The beautifully tapering Carfury menhir in West Penwith for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering.

It stands in an area of small fields, just off an overgrown ancient lane below Ding Dong mine and Nine Maidens of Boskednan stone circle.

Visited June 2011 on a day of sunshine and showers. Portrait, may need a click.

@thesweetcheat For all our many, many visits to Cornwall, and West Penwith in particular, and for all our adventures and our searches for increasingly hard to find ancient sites - we've never visited this one. 😂

@grahamorriss I've only been once! It's a bit difficult to get to in summer. I keep meaning to go back though, it's a lovely stone.

@thesweetcheat I need to explore around there more. I still need to find Fenton Bebibell!

@grahamorriss that's good too, we went to it the long way (from downstream) but it's easier from upstream; there's a little gate off the main path near Four Parish Stone.

@thesweetcheat I do love it around there. Definitely worth a wander. Thank you. 😁👍
