Godrevy lighthouse from the golden, sandy beach nr Hayle. The lighthouse was built 150 years ago after the SS Nile hit "The Stones" and sank.
Lanyon Quoit - a neolithic structure from around 2500BC. Possibly the remains of a burial chamber or maybe used for ritual activities. The stones were re-arranged in the 18th century after a storm collapsed the original arrangement. The 13 ton stones were originally aligned east-west-south-north and were high enough for a horse rider to ride under.
Greenburrow Engine House (1865), part of the Ding Dong mine complex. The site of the mine was apparently visited by Joseph of Arimathea, who was buying tin and copper in Britain with another man - perhaps Jesus, somewhere around 18-28 AD.
