Bad weather made us postpone a tree planting but we were back out on Feb 7th to put in 21 trees. We had a few extra helpers!!! Thanks as always to our amazing volunteers and to #CornwallCommunityFoundation who helped fund the purchase of tools and hybrid elms. #ForestForCornwall supplied the trees.

If a #StandingStoneSunday post can represent how I'm finding life as an Assistant Headteacher as I reach half-way through my first year in the job - it would be this assemblage from Plozevet in Brittany. A bit of everything going on here!

Enjoy! And wear waterproof boots! This photo was taken a year ago during a very wet spell - the surrounding moor/footpaths were under water in parts so we had to pick our route carefully. This year I think we're currently experiencing even more rain.

Celebrating 21 years of (surviving) being parents to twins this week. Plenty of pics of them running away from the camera while visiting old stones. #StandingStoneSunday @chrisull.bsky.social

You can pay to join a guided tour (!) during the summer - or go off season when the gates are unlocked.

Cornwall's largest standing stone - Men Gurta on St Breock Downs. The power lines behind making it look like it's held up by string. #StandingStoneSunday

It's really beautiful - I didn't think there would be so much remaining and shamefully this was my first visit despite living not far away. Trago on the other hand is one to be avoided!

Nestled in a forest in the hills above Liskeard's Trago Mills - Largin Castle for #HillfortsWednesday is well worth seeking out.

One of the few remaining standing stones of Louden Hill Stone circle on Bodmin Moor. #StandingStoneSunday pic from a couple of years ago while on a walk that started near Stannon Stone Circle and could have taken in Fernacre too - but either weather or time was against us.

The Lostmarc'h menhir - near Crozon in Brittany. I *think* thought to be part of an alignment. Just below this headland but out of view is the Oppidum de la Pointe de Lostmarc'h. It's a really spectacular place to visit. #StandingStoneSunday

You're trying to trigger me! Chris irritated another tourist by stepping over the little fence to take a photo. They had a bit of a "discussion" ๐๐ซฃ I wonder how that guy was when he got back to the stones near the carpark - people sitting on top, kids climbing up.

King Donierts Stone and Other Half Stone in St. Cleer #Cornwall for #StandingStoneSunday. The remains of two C9th granite crosses, the smaller of the two is the Doniert Stone. The inscription probably memorialising King Dumgarth of Cornwall who drowned either in the sea or the river Fowey.

An Iron Age war horn built to be seen and heard and to unsettle. Polybius wrote that its sound in battle seemed to 'emanate from the entire countryside'. More to come, including on #DiggingforBritain next week.

Not sure if this one - I remember reading about one out that way needing some TLC - maybe on the at risk register, or talked about at a CAS meeting. Could be this one or another - but I remember it as room-like - which is maybe why attracting people to use it rather than respect it.
