As with most of the Tors in Dartmoor, this Tor has some unique granite features. It is a bit off the beaten track but is worth a visit.

Wild Tor lies at the heart of north Dartmoor. Aptly named, the little-visited tor off the beaten track and affords extensive views over the rugged and remote moorland.

Oke Tor & Cosdon Beacon loop from Belstone — Dartmoor National Park

480m

This difficult 11.2-mile (18.1 km) loop from Belstone takes you across Dartmoor's rugged north moor, offering panoramic views and a challenging hike. You will gain 1543 feet (470 metres) in elevation over approximately 5 hours and 14 minutes, traversing diverse terrain. Expect wide grass tracks, paths created by walkers, and steep, rutted sections, along with clitter-strewn slopes. The route bags several prominent granite tors, including Oke Tor and Cosdon Beacon, providing a classic Dartmoor experience. From various vantage points, you can admire the highest points in southern England, Yes Tor and High Willhays.

This difficult hike requires very good fitness and crucial navigation skills, especially if visibility is poor. You should carry a 1:25,000 OS map for the route. The starting point, Belstone, is a pretty moorland village with a pub, making it a convenient base for your adventure. While the trail is generally considered challenging, it is highly rated for its exceptional views and the sense of achievement it offers. Plan for a full day to complete the loop, allowing for breaks and enjoying the expansive moorland.

Beyond the natural beauty of Dartmoor's granite tors and river cleaves, this loop offers a rich historical context. Part of the route utilizes a section of the well-known Tarka Trail, adding to its appeal. As you hike, you may encounter ancient monuments, including a stone circle and the intriguing Irishman's Wall. The trail provides an immersive experience of Dartmoor's rugged high moorland, making it notable for those seeking a deep connection with the area's wild landscape.
