Not only could I not get a rock to rock, but I couldn’t even find the rock basin.

Like Mr Hamhead before me I couldn’t get this magnificently wonky stone edifice to rock... but it sure did rock my world nonetheless

Black Tor

Rocking Stone

Mr Hamhead May 22, 2005

This low outcrop lies just off the B3212, about 2 miles outside Princetown. It is supposed to have a logan Stone amongst its piles but I found nothing that would rock. It is also an easy way to access the stone row below Hart Tor.
