The last peak before dropping down to Princetown if you're heading up from the south on Ivybridge Lane, South Hessary Tor has some fascinating history if you climb up a little closer. On the top of the granite rocks, you'll find a 'cobra', or weathered iron spike. This is one of four across the moor that used to mark boundaries.
