What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find Croft Moraig a beautiful and mystic site, appreciating its unique Neolithic features like the double circle and quartz pebbles. While parking can be tricky and facilities are absent, the ancient energy and historical significance make it a worthwhile stop for those seeking a connection to the past.
"A small ancient stone circle quite near the road. Parking is hit-or-miss. Respecting that it was on a working farm and we were parked on the edge of the road, we didn’t stay long."
Chris Webb
"Toby visited the ancient stone circle with noble purpose: to commune with his ancestors, gaze into the mysteries of time, and possibly pee on something 5,000 years old. The circle stood in stoic silence, weathered and mossy, radiating a sort of “we’ve seen things” energy. Toby took a moment of quiet reflection, the wind whispering through the grass, the stones looming with ancient dignity.
Then a Vauxhall Corsa drove by blasting '90s dance music.
The spiritual connection wobbled, but Toby powered through. He sniffed each stone with reverence, as if decoding a message only dogs could read. No ghostly howls, no celestial visions—just a sheep darting by and the faint scent of damp lichen.
Was he impressed? Not quite. Was he satisfied? Weirdly, yes. For a 5,000-year-old circle, it held up. 3.5 stars—would visit again with snacks and fewer cars."

"Beautiful place to visit. There is a gate near the road you can enter by, parking is tricky but we managed."
