The Cheesewring, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. - Natural, rather than man made, the Cheesewring near Minions on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, is a series of giant flat boulders, some over 30 feet in circumference, with the largest ones sitting on the smaller ones.Although formed by natural erosion, the Cornish folklore blames Giants for them being there. The tale is that the Giants were annoyed that the Saints were getting a better deal than they were. St Tue, a particularly small saint, heard the Giants arguing about the best way to rid Cornwall of Saints. He decided to challenge the leader of the Giants, Uther, a particularly large and strong giant, to a trial of strength. The deal was that if the giants won, then the saints would leave Cornwall forever, but if the saints won the giants would convert to Christianity. Twelve large rocks were gathered for the contest. Uther picked up the smallest rock and hurled it onto the summit of Stowes Hill. St Tue, getting heavenly help, picked up a larger rock, and managed to throw it exactly the same distance, landing on the smaller first rock. The contest continued with larger rocks piling on smaller ones, until Uther failed with the last rock, and it rolled back down the hill where St Tue picked it up and hurled it (with the help of the angels) onto the top of the heap. The saints won, and the giants under Uther abandoned their sinful ways. And the Cheesewring remains to this day as a reminder of the struggle between the Giants and the Saints in Cornwall. - 固opFoto/Fortean
