Blackingstone RockBlackingstone Rock is a good example of a classic Dartmoor tor. It has characteristic jointing and the rock is coarse grained with large crystals of felspar embedded in it. Geologists are keen on Blackingstone. However, in May the surrounding area is well carpeted in bluebells making this a very beautiful site to visit.Park at the small car park at SX 787857 and take the path that leads up to the rock. It's a short walk. The path winds around the tor and leads you to a short steep climb up a set of rails. The climbing involved may not suit everyone. On a windy day it will be blustery on top of the rock.
