Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: Channel Islands and Isle of Man (Jersey)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jul 2012
Le Pinacle submitted by Andy B on 18th Jul 2012. Jersey must be one of the most concentrated places in Europe for prehistoric sites - I remember, many years ago - around 1951/2, climbing down to the "Pinacle Rock" with a friend who was the grandson of Herbert John Baal, who was the first archivist of those caves. I made this sketch on the way down.
