The Logan Rock of Treen

On the edge of the cliffs overlooking the English Channel, on a headland one mile south of Treen, in Cornwall, England, is a famous rocking stone. Despite weighing 80 tons, the rock is so finely balanced at its base that it could be rocked backwards and forwards by a child applying only a gentle pressure. Known as Logan Rock—from the Cornish word ‘logging’ meaning rocking—it is one of several such balancing rocks found in the county.
