Cheesewring is a natural geological formation of granite slabs, formed by weathering over the course of hundreds of years. Large discs of stones are stacked atop each other in bizarre formations that seem as though they should not be able to stand upright without toppling, but they do. Some of the slabs are up to 30 feet across, and sit atop much smaller rocks. As a bonus from the top of Stowes Hill you have a nice panoramic view of the surrounding area. There is a free car park near The Hurlers, and from there it is a simple walk north, following the route of the old quarry railroad bed to the base of Stowe Hill. The going up the hill to the tor is steep, but not difficult, and the reward for your exertions is a wonderful view over the moors. (Minions, Cornwall, England)
