Figgie Daniel, North Bovey, Dartmoor National Park

Bowerman's Nose is, arguably, the most famous stack of granite in Dartmoor National Park. It rises from a jumble of rock at the north west side of Hayne Down.

Hayne Down is one of a number of islands of moorland surrounded by farmland and fields near the main mass of Dartmoor's high moorland.

Bowerman's Nose looks across a thin strip of farmland to another island of moorland called Easdon Down. On the south east side of this moorland stands another much less well-known stack of granite called Figgie Daniel. Bowerman's Nose and Figgie Daniel seem to face one another across this section of the National Park.

We've positioned Figgie Daniel on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. To visit, use the directions we provide in our Easdon Tor listing. Note that Figgie Daniel is at the eastern end of the broad ridge that tops Easdon Down. Look at our photos for further visual information.
