Bowerman's Nose - Dartmoor
Bowerman's Nose is a stack of weathered granite on Dartmoor. It is situated on the northern slopes of Hayne Down, about a mile from Hound Tor and close to the village of Manaton. It is about 21.5 feet high and is the hard granite core of a former tor, standing above a 'clitter' of the blocks that have eroded and fallen from it.
