    Legend has it the pipers were turned to stone for playing on the Sabbath. They tried to make an escape but didn't manage to get away.

    Others say they mark the spot where Howel and King Aethelstan stood facing each other before battle in the 10th century.

    An impressive place, the stone circles (hurlers) and cheesewring in a fabulous landscape. Hiking without limits possible through fences, old mines and small lakes.
