"At the south end of Middletown a more rugged and dramatic landscape is presented by an area of outcropping conglomerate rocks with bold rock faces and a series of parallel ridges, including Paradise Rocks, Hanging Rock, and Purgatory. Hanging Rock, a vast conglomerate ledge frequented by Bishop Berkeley (the noted eighteenth-century divine), and nearby Purgatory, with its deep, wave-worn chasm and bedrock of "stretched pebbles," are among the most interesting and important geological features of Rhode Island."
