Logan Rock, Granite rock formation in Treen, Cornwall.
The 65-ton granite boulder sits 30 meters above the sea on the cliffs of Treen, featuring a natural balance point that allows movement.
In 1824, Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith and his naval crew dislodged the rock into the sea, leading to a mandatory restoration at his personal expense.
The formation takes its name from the Cornish word 'logging', meaning rocking, and stands as a central element of local geological heritage.
Visitors reach the formation by following marked coastal paths from the Treen village parking area, which connects to Penberth and Porthcurno beaches.
Metal attachments remain visible on the rock surface from the 1824 restoration operation, which required over sixty men to complete.

From Ireland's 214-meter Cliffs of Moher to China's vertical peaks in Zhangjiajie, these natural formations mark Earth's most notable vertical landscapes. The collection spans coastal features like Dover's white chalk cliffs and inland monuments such as Yosemite's El Capitan. Notable sites include Norway's Preikestolen, Hawaii's Kalaupapa cliffs reaching 1,010 meters, and Pakistan's Trango Towers, the world's highest vertical cliffs.
