Rough Tor - Bodmin Moor

Bodmin Moor was intruded as magma into overlying sedimentary rocks some 270 million years ago. Rough Tor is owned by the National Trust and is aptly named. Tors occur in rocks other than granite and are found the length and breadth of the British Isles. Their formation remains a matter of some controversy but they are undoubtedly an important facet of our landscape heritage.
