Blackingstone Rock, also known locally as 'Blackystone', is a prominent granite outcrop visible from miles around. It stands near Moretonhampstead and features a series of steps leading to its flat summit, where rock basins have formed. The rock has a legend associated with it, telling of an encounter between King Arthur and the Evil One, where quoits thrown by the king turned into the rocks we see today.
