Cheesewring

The Cheesewring, near Minions on southern edge of Bodmin Moor, is one of Cornwall’s most natural phenomenon’s. This is a stunning historical site as it is essentially a top heavy stack of rocks, forced by nature’s wind erosion, providing the illusion that justifies it’s name as the ‘Cheeswring’, due to each rock resembling a traditional cheesewring.

The oddity about this amazing site is that the largest and most unwieldy looking rocks are firmly situated at the top end of the stack and the smallest, lightest looking rocks are at the bottom, supporting the whole structure.

It is true to say that this 32 foot structure looks unstable at best, being situated on a side of a slope and seemingly held up by a few fragile looking small rocks. The first impression one gets, is that this structure could collapse at any moment; the stunning views from this point out to Cornwall and Devon are well worth the visit.
