Part 1: THE WEST COUNTRY & DARTMOOR (21 minutes)

Soon after the beginning of our journey from near Land’s End it is clear that our megalithic heritage offers far more variety and intrigue than we could have imagined. From the cosy lanes of Cornwall to the barren bleakness of Dartmoor, expect the unexpected.

This is the first of a complete seven-part online edition of Standing with Stones. If you’ve ever dreamed of travelling through Great Britain & Ireland, visiting the fantastic standing stones and other monuments that our ancient ancestors left us, then you will love this film. Over two years in the making, Standing with Stones was made by just two men with great film making skills, a camper van and a passion for the monuments in stone left to us by Neolithic and Bronze Age ancestors. The result is a remarkable feature length documentary film that take the viewer on a journey of discovery, uncovering the true extent and variety of megalithic Britain and Ireland.
