Cheesewring Rock Formation

Off the path and still on the way. This is how you could describe a tour in Bodmin Moor. A worthwhile lap from Minion leads past the stone rings, up to the cheesewring and on to the Sharp Tor. From there there is a direct line to Kilmar Gate. Precise directions are only necessary to a limited extent. Normally, it is sufficient to simply orientate yourself in a straight line towards the next waypoint. You should only be careful with the grazing cows on the raised bog and pass them with respect and a suitable distance.

Please note: Bodmin Moor is notorious for its changeable weather conditions, so please bring suitable clothing as the location is remote and very exposed.

Beautiful high moor! Bizarre rock towers and stone circles provide for additional mystic flair. Almost every "summit" is crowned by a gate, a pile of stones. The most famous gate in Bodmin Moor is the Cheesewring. Unlike the stone circles, it has naturally evolved through millennia of erosion.
