Corn Hole Rocks

Perched on the southern slopes of the amphitheatre-like bowl called Corn Hole, you will find this small collection of granite that suggests the remnants of a tor on the hillside.

One outcrop is quite distinctive when viewed using Google Maps Satellite View, as it has a square turf placed in its centre. The flat nature of the rocks makes it easy to sit and enjoy the charming views.
