black tor Black Tor GR SX574718
Overlooking the Meavy valley, Black Tor is a fine example of a logan stone or rocking stone. Sadly when I last visited it the stone seemed wedged. Maybe I need to eat more Weetabix! Close to Stone row and tin streaming blowing houses. back
Trowlesworthy GR SX 580640
With excellent views to the north and south, this is a fine place to lose yourself for the afternoon. About a mile from the road, this tor offers several interesting geological features, such as pink granite rich in white mica, felsite, and old quarry workings, not to mention prehistoric hut circles. back

GR SX 577646
What strange peri-glacial process could have created this strange rock cylinder? Well, it's a base cut for a flag pole which was to be erected at Devonport in 1820. Trowelesworthy has long been quarried for it’s granite. This however stands testimony to a forgotten project. back
