Rough Tor

Recommended by 47 hikers out of 48

The second-highest point in Cornwall – the first being its neighbour, Brown Willy – Rough Tor makes for a great adventure in the wilds of Bodmin Moor. It has a summit of 1,312 feet (400 m) and shares its bulk with its twin, Little Rough Tor and Showery Tor, on its north extent. As a result, there are plenty of granite boulders to scramble about on.

This Highlight is in a protected area

    A lovely Tor to do in conjunction with Brown Willy. Easily accessible from the Rough Tor car park. Impressive rock formations and a generally interesting place to be at with great views.
