Many people exploring the Teign Gorge head to Sharp Tor for breathtaking views. Fewer people visit nearby Hunter’s Tor, however, which is surprising as it affords equally-stunning views. Whilst it is quite small, Hunter’s Tor has enough room for a few folks to sit on the rocks and enjoy the wonderful views.
