The alignment is alleged to be the longest straight line that can be drawn across mainland Britain. It starts at St Michael’s Mount off Penzance in Cornwall and extends through a series of churches dedicated to St Michael and St George (both dragonslaying saints), through the Hurlers circle on Bodmin Moor, through Glastonbury Tor in the Somerset levels with the ruined St Michael’s church tower on its summit, through the megalithic ring at Avebury in Wiltshire and off across country near the ruined abbey of Bury St Edmunds before diving into the sea off the coast of East Anglia.
