Not very hard to get too. Nice view. only problem would be that the information plaques are by the multiple, wide spread entrances that are surrounded by mud. It would have been nicer if they were closer to the stones or at least all together. Other than that a great place to stop of at and recommend.

Well worth visiting, though only for 10 minutes. The circle itself is not that awe-inspiring but the views, even on a bad day, are wonderful.

Although on the face of it there is not a lot there it's more a case of quality rather than quantity. The ancient stone circle is so special that you really don't need anything else ( the information boards are useful though !). Well worth a visit as part of a walk or a tour of the area. Simply amazing to think that they managed to build this over 4500 years ago .

Nice location. Nothing much to do here. Just walk around and take some pictures, enjoy the scenery and head back. :)

Parking is easy in the layby opposite the site. Parking and entry are free. The filed can be quite muddy especially after a big rain. The site itself is in a beautiful location, with the mountains in the background. The site doesn't offer much, can be walked around in 5 minutes, but it has a magical atmosphere. There are information boards at the entrances.
