Yeh man! T'is good work, though if you're educating, write some history in the description... Keep filming, pilgrim!

Been to the first three on teh list and Men-an-Tol. Chun Castle was cool, remote and very tranquil. I especially liked the natural spring with holly and willow on each side of it.

Also been to see Zennor Quoit, Men Scryfa, Mulfra Quoit etc in that same area as well as a bunch of other ancient sites elsewhere in Cornwall

Nice video!
