engraved illustration of the Cheesewring tor from “Old England A Pictorial Museum of National Antiquities” by Charles Knight, published London 1844Author Charles Knight 1791-1873The Cheesewring is a natural geological formation, a rock outcrop of granite slabs formed by weathering. The name derives from the resemblance of the piled slabs to a "cheesewring", a press-like device that was once used to make cheese. this landmark was threatened with destruction in the late nineteenth century by the proximity of blasting operations, but was saved as a result of local activism. A local legend says that the Cheesewring is the result of a contest between a man and a giant.
