This landmark is located next to the Cheesewring Quarry (which provided the granite cladding for the structure of Tower Bridge in London) and is surrounded by other granite formations. In the late 19th century, this landmark was threatened with destruction due to its proximity to blasting operations, but was saved through local activism.

Off the beaten track, yet still on the path. That's how you could describe a hike in Bodwin Moor. A worthwhile loop leads from Minion past the stone circles, up to the Cheesewring, and then on to Sharp Tor. From there, it's a direct route to Kilmar Tor.

The most famous tor in Bodmin Moor is the Cheesewring. Unlike the stone circles, it was formed naturally by millennia of erosion.

A precise route description is only partially necessary. It's usually sufficient to simply follow a direct line toward the next waypoint. You should only be careful around the grazing cows on the raised moor and pass them with respect and at a suitable distance.
