Mardon Down Rocks South
![]() Of the two main rock groups on the western side of Mardon Down, an area of open moorland north of Moretonhampstead, this is the southern outcrop. Its appearance is quite fine. ![]() Having a closer look at the outcrop will reveal an abundance of lichen clinging onto the granite; it nestles itself within the layers of rock and from here there is a wonderful view of the high moor. As with the northern group there is a car park to the west providing access. ![]() ![]()
