Description
The Cup and Saucer Rock on the top of Carn Brea Cornwall is a fascinating large flattish rock with several deep basins worn by the weather over centuries.
There are many impressive granite boulders and stacks on this hill which has magnificent views across all of mid Cornwall on a clear day.
The slopes of the carn have their own story to tell. 6,000 years ago, granite walls and ramparts once circled the tors, and the remains are there to this day… along with the sites of Roman and Bronze Age artefacts, Iron Age roundhouses and, legend has it, the petrified bones of the Giant of Carn Brea, John of Gaunt.
