In the small, picturesque coastal town of St. Agnes, which lies approximately 4 km away from the lat/long coordinates provided, there circulates a tale steeped in myth and mystery. This tale is known as the Legend of the Giant Bolster, a creature reputed to stand miles high, such were his colossal proportions. In fact, if the local stories are to be believed, the Giant Bolster could comfortably step from Beacon Hill to Carn Brea, a vast distance of six miles, in a single stride. Despite his formidable size, the Giant Bolster found himself irretrievably bewitched by the beauty and charm of a local maiden named Agnes, who was virtuous as she was attractive. Desperate to win her affection, the giant pursued her relentlessly, seemingly oblivious to her consistent rebuffs. In a bid to rid herself of the giant’s troublesome advances, Agnes challenged him to prove his devotion by filling a hole in the cliff at Chapel Porth with his own blood. The giant, driven by his unquenchable desire, agreed immediately and slashed his wrist to fill the hole. Unknown to him, the hole was actually a deep cavern, leading directly into the sea. The Giant Bolster continued to bleed, expecting the hole to fill, until he grew faint. Eventually, depleted and drained from the loss of blood, the giant collapsed and died, thus freeing St. Agnes from his menacing presence. Today, an annual festival is held in St. Agnes, re-enacting the tale and commemorating the end of the giant’s reign of terror.
