Roborough Rock

It is located at the southern end of the former RAF Harrowbeer airfield on Roborough Down, next to the border with the A386.

[1] This location created problems for the airfield during the Second World War, as two runways were positioned in front of the rock.

[1] The Rock has been given many names, particularly due to the resemblance of a human face apparent when viewing the eastern mass from the north.

[5] Roborough Rock has two high ends and a lower middle section.

The height was historically more uniform, until the middle section was removed for road maintenance in 1830.
