- Quoits - Quoits (k-waits) is a traditional lawn game involving the throwing of a metal or rubber ring over a set distance to land over a pin in the centre of a patch of clay. It is closely related to horseshoe pitching and the fairground game hoopla.
- Chûn Quoit - The best preserved of all quoits (also called dolmens or cromlechs) in Cornwall, UK is Chûn Quoit, located in open moorland near Madron, Penzance. The uphill walk is well worth while because this is perhaps the most visually satisfying of all the quoits.
- Deck tennis - Deck tennis is an informal sport that once was frequently played aboard scheduled passenger ships and is still practiced to a small extent. The sport is a hybrid between tennis and quoits, and is played with either the rubber disk of quoits or a similarly-sized rope ring.
- The Longstones - The Longstones or the Devil's Quoits are two standing stones one of which is the remains of what was once a prehistoric 'cove' of standing stones close to Beckhampton in the English county of Wiltshire.
