Summary
| Description |
English: The Logan Rock at Treryn Dinas. Although logan stones (naturally occurring stones that can be 'rocked' by human effort alone) are found on many granite and limestone tors, this one is sufficiently famous to be named on British road atlases! This 80 ton rock was already a tourist attraction in the early 18th century, but achieved notoriety in 1824 when it was dislodged by a naval lieutenant called Goldsmith and his band of men. After a public outcry he was forced to replace it at his own expense, a task which took at least 60 men almost seven months to complete. The process of restoring the stone to its lofty perch has left various holes and slots cut into the surrounding granite, and they still didn't get it quite right as it no longer rocks. For the context of this rock see 230336. Note: I am not too confident about the accuracy of the grid reference I have quoted for the Logan Rock - maybe someone with a GPS unit can improve it? |
