What to expect
You'll spend the day winding through rural Cornish lanes in a private vehicle, stopping frequently to walk amongst Bronze Age remains. Expect moorland scenery punctuated by weathered stones and open horizons rather than visitor centres or coach-tour crowds. Your guide will unlock the stories behind each site—why monuments were placed where they are, what they meant to prehistoric communities. Some walking between vehicle and sites is unavoidable; terrain is uneven but not strenuous. The pace suits contemplative exploration rather than box-ticking.
Good to know
Bring your own lunch and drinks; nothing is provided. Wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate layers—moorland conditions change quickly. The 8 hours includes travel time, so plan for roughly 4–5 hours of actual site visits. Prams and pushchairs work on most approaches, though terrain varies.
