Example of a rocking stone perched on a peninsula outside of Treen, the peninsula is also the location of a former iron age hillfort, Treryn Dinas. In 1824 the Logan Rock was deliberately toppled by British seamen and had to be restored to its position. The location offers great views out to see and of Mount's Bay.
The Logan Rock near the village of Treen in Cornwall, United Kingdom, is an example of a logan or rocking stone. Although it weighs some 80 tons, it was dislodged in 1824 by a group of British seamen, intent on showing what the Navy could do. However following complaints from local residents for whom the rock had become a tourist attraction and source of income, the seamen were forced to restore it. Today the Logan Rock still rocks, but with much less ease than it did in the past. The South West Coast Path, which follows the coast of south-west England from Somerset to Dorset passes by on the cliffs to the north.

Holy well in St. Levan which overlooks the sea, there is also a chapel in the area.
The church is most famous for St. Levan's stone which sits within the graveyard. Prior to the coming of Christianity to the area the Pagan belief was that the stone brought fertility. Legend states that the rock was split in two by St. Levan using his staff stating that "When with paniers astride, A Pack Horse can ride, Through St. Levan's Stone, The world will be done."
