St Buryan Church
historicThe massive granite tower of St Buryan's church has been a landmark for mariners rounding Land's End for centuries. The church contains one of the finest rood screens in Cornwall — a late fifteenth-century carved oak screen of exceptional quality — and the churchyard is the burial place of several local fishing families whose memorials tell the story of this remote parish's dependence on the sea.

Merry Maidens Stone Circle
historicThe most complete and perfectly circular Bronze Age stone circle in Cornwall, the Merry Maidens stands in a field south of St Buryan with all nineteen stones upright. Local legend holds the stones are girls turned to granite for dancing on the Sabbath. The two outlying standing stones known as The Pipers — the musicians — stand in adjacent fields.
