The Tristan Stone, near Fowey, Cornwall, England


A 7 feet tall ancient weathered stone memorial to the hero Tristan stands beside the road near the Cornish town of Fowey, and may have been the origin of the association of this site with the story of the tragic love of Tristan and Iseult (Isolde or Yseult). Tristan, noble Knight of the Round Table, and lover of Iseult, wife of King Mark of Cornwall. There is a Latin inscription on the stone, now much worn, which is said to read: 'Drustans hic iacet Cunomori filius' which means: Drustanus lies here, the son of Cunomorus
