A Rock Pile That Looks Like Cheese

At Cornwall’s Cheese Wring, eight rough granite blocks rise 32 feet, with the top block wider than those below. No mason built the stack: weathering eroded the softer rock around the granite, leaving the harder blocks balanced on one another. Nearby, logan (rocking) stones can rock with a push despite weighing many tons. The formations show how ordinary weathering over time can create shapes that look built by people.
