Welcome to Boskednan

Boskednan is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated near the town of Penzance and is known for its ancient stone circle, which is believed to be over 4,000 years old. The stone circle is made up of 19 stones, with the tallest standing at over 2 meters high. The circle is thought to have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes by the people who lived in the area during the Bronze Age.

In addition to the stone circle, Boskednan is also home to a number of other historic sites and landmarks. These include the remains of a Bronze Age settlement, which can be seen in the surrounding fields, as well as a number of ancient burial mounds. The village is also located near the coast, and visitors can enjoy stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside.

Today, Boskednan is a popular destination for tourists who are interested in history and archaeology. The stone circle is a particularly popular attraction, and visitors can learn more about its history and significance at the nearby visitor center. The village is also home to a number of small shops and cafes, where visitors can sample local Cornish delicacies and purchase souvenirs to take home.
