Brilliant place for a swim, and you'll sometimes find lots of climbers on the rocks here too. The deep water is cold but clear and amazing for a dip on a hot day!

Hiking

Foggintor Quarry is special for so many reasons. It can be a little busy, it's a popular spot for walkers and wild campers but it also happens to be a sunset followers dream spot. In the summer you can watch the sun set and amber scorch the silhouette of the Great Staple and Roos Tor.

Some impressive archaeological history and well connected to the granite and gears path connecting you to some of the nicest spots in the Princetown area. See Kings Tor, Sweltor Quarry, Ingra Tor and North Hessary Tor
