Mên-an-Tol

Dating back to the Bronze Age, this small but unique stone monument inspired a generation of 20th century artists from Barbara Hepworth to Ben Nicolson. Its name means ‘holed stone’ and its true purpose remains a much talked about mystery that tends to generate some fantastic folklore and legend. Due to its obvious symbolism, it was regarded as an effective way to ensure fertility amongst locals.
