The views from the top of Chapel Carn Brea are excellent. This is looking south-eastwards to the village of St Buryan with its eponymous church. The conspicuous tower is 92' high and dates from 1501, though there has been a church on this site since at least 930AD in the reign of Æthelstan. Even older, in a field below the tower (as viewed) is a prominent standing stone called Trevorgans Menhir at SW 40490 26132 - see Image] and Image] for much closer views of this neolithic relic.
