class=\"top-half-em wp-block-heading\">The Route to the Stones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn off the A30 at the St Breward\/Temple junction and head\nnorth towards St Breward. After 1.25km you\u2019ll come to a crossroad. Turn right\nand park on the side of the track leading to Hawk&#8217;s Tor Farm (don\u2019t block the\ntrack). Walk NE past the Trippet Stones, through the first gate and across the\nsmall stream. You are now in a narrow lane with sheep pens. There are two more\ngates in this lane (both were tied shut and I had to climb over them). You can\nthen follow either route to the Stripple Stones (the south route is easier\ngoing). The land marked in yellow is private, but I believe this route has been\ngiven the OK for access to the stones. The walk is about 2km in each direction\nacross roughish ground. It\u2019s worth taking a detour to the top of Hawk\u2019s Tor for\nthe view back over the stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"small\">Click on the map to see it larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized floatbox\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesMap.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesMap-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Route to the Stripple Stones\" class=\"wp-image-2023\" width=\"448\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesMap-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesMap-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesMap-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesMap.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> This link should take you to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bing Maps showing an Ordnance Survey view of the area (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/binged.it\/2LxjrQh\" target=\"_blank\">Bing Maps showing an Ordnance Survey view of the area<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve made a <a href=\"https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/panoramas\/cornwall\/stripple-stones.html\">360\u00b0 panorama of the Stripple Stones<\/a> which you can see by clicking here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/panoramas\/cornwall\/stripple-stones.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"448\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/reeddesign.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/StrippleStonesPano.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2025\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On private land just to the south of Hawk&#8217;s Tor on Bodmin Moor stands the Stripple Stones, the only stone circle in Cornwall to be in a henge (a bank and ditch).
