Why this matters
Blackalder Tor is a coastal rock feature composed of Devonian-age granite, formed around 380 million years ago through the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust. It is notable for its striking dark appearance and prominent position along the South Hams coastline, likely shaped by erosion and weathering over millennia.
