Hiking
Black Tor is known for its logan stone, the name given to a rock that sways when pushed. Logan stones have become separated from the rest of the rocks through erosion, but when 'logged' they pivot on a contact point and do not over balance. Logged means to roll around drunk in Cornish. The most famous logan stone in Cornwall is probably Logan Rock, near Treen, Penzance.
