Bowerman's Nose Natural Rock Feature View all content for Bowerman's Nose

If you were to rub your scalp with one hand whist with the other rubbing the stones of Bowerman's nose, and ask any question, in your next dream the answer will be revealed, because the Bowerman knows. That's not true, I made that up. The rock stack is to me not very anthropomorphic, I struggle to see a nose, but the hat is quite clear. So if there is no nose, perhaps the rock had oracular powers. Disprove it. Parking is scant but available for a few, a pleasant ten minute walk takes us up to the Granite god. He is tall, perhaps he has a precise height, maybe not, he sits on the edge of a small platform at the bottom of an unnamed rocky Tor above Hayne down. From up on top of the rocks you can see all the way to Hound Tor and the approximate location of the cairn with cist circle. This is a very good place to get away from it all, but on a nice day like today, and presumably other days too, there will be other people, not many, but some.
