This is a large scattering of rocks, clitter and boulders along the eastern side of the Swincombe River as it leaves the reservoir of the same name. There are some large split boulders, smaller rocks and everything in between in this outcrop. Its in an easy location to get to, being beside the track which leads up to Swincombe Reservoir. The track itself starts at Hexworthy and that is the easiest point to start from to get here. Otherwise you could park at Whiteworks and walk down and across the Swincombe Bridge, before returning up the track to the reservoir. You will need to jump the river further up towards Fox Tor Mires though to get back to Whiteworks, unless you plan to circuit around the Mires.
