Devil's Cheese Haunting
Perched atop a rugged Cornish landscape, the Cheesewring granite tor stands sentinel, its weathered stones bearing testament to a most unusual piece of folklore. Legend has it that the Devil himself would make his cheese using this very stack of stones. One story tells of Saint Tue engaging in a stone tossing contest with Uther, a local giant. When one of Uther's stones missed its mark, Saint Tue picked it up and an angel carried it to the top of the tor, creating the distinctive formation we see today.
Historical records suggest that this peculiar monument has been a source of fascination for centuries. The tale of Saint Tue and Uther serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith, as most of the giants present promptly converted to Christianity following this remarkable display. While there are no documented reports of paranormal activity, the site's unique history and atmospheric setting make it an intriguing destination for those drawn to the unexplained and the mysterious.
