Dist:0.9km<br/>A logan rock or logan stone is one which can be rocked on its natural base and there are several of these in West Penwith but this is undoubtedly the most famous, to the extent that the headland on which it sits, Treryn Dinas, is often referred to as Logan Rock. In 1824 the rock was dislodged by Lieutenant Goldsmith and his band of men and such was the public outcry that he was forced to replace it at his own expense, a task which took at least 60 men almost seven months to complete. Details of this and the costs incurred can be seen in the Logan Rock Inn at Treen.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A logan rock or stone is one that, well, rocks. There is one here, it is clearly visible from the Porthcurno side of the bay, but in the short time we had to explore we could not find it close to hand.

Dist:0.9km<br/>You've seen "Logan Rock" on the road atlas, you've followed the signs down narrow lanes to the tiny village of Treen, you've followed the signs along the footpaths through fields of maize, passed through the Iron Age ramparts of Treryn Dinas, crossed the narrow neck of the headland and clambered over the granite to find this... a National Trust plaque pointing upwards towards "the" Logan Rock. There are quite a few perched granite boulders on the headland and visitors often try rocking them too (without success). For more on the history of the Logan Rock see this supplemental: [[230333]].
