The Logan Rock is an example of a logan or rocking stone. The rock is an eighty-ton granite boulder perched on the edge of the cliffs. Finely balanced due to the actions of weathering, and before its restoration in 1824, it could be rocked by applying only a little pressure.
The name Logan Rock is also applied to the surrounding tip of the headland, as well as the logan stone itself. Cripp’s Cove lies to the east beneath the rock. The headland is also an Iron Age promontory fort called Treryn Dinas, defended by three ramparts. Several islands are located around the edge of Logan Rock, including Great Goular, Horrace, and Seghy.
