Combestone Tor

Dartmoor is home to more than 160 tors but Combestone Tor is one of the easiest to access by bike and car as the road passes right by. Not only is the tor a fantastically impressive jumble of granite rocks but it also offers tremendous views, particularly along the Dart Valley northwards. The view west is also excellent, with moorland and fields rolling off into the distance.

You can scramble to the top of the rocks if you’ve got steady feet and will often find Dartmoor ponies roaming around the base.

The Combestone Tor as well as many other rock formations in the Dartmoor National Park with its hills, moorland and wild sheep, cows and horses is of unforgettable beauty in good weather. There are some tourists, but because of the vastness that is not at all noticeable. You also pass lovely villages with sometimes only a few mostly old houses and small rivers with nice bridges. In addition, you are only a few tens of kilometers from the sea, which makes the region a true paradise.

perfect time to stop and take on board some munchies
