A great viewpoint looking out towards the city of Plymouth and over the Plym and Meavy valleys. The rock is pretty easy to get through, either from the path along the Meavy headed north or from Goodameavy headed south along the river.

A beautiful granite outcrop overlooking the Plym valley, and surrounding woodland.

The cliff itself is a somewhat stark contrast to the rest of the moor, it's lush and tree lined, rather than wind-swept and desolate. Even the rock type is much different, it's generally much finer and smoother granite, rather than the big sharp crystals as found elsewhere on the moor.

The cliff offers some fantastic rock climbing, and some brilliant open views.
