Despite its unassuming appearance, at 1,765 feet (538 m) tall, this tor affords spellbinding views that stretch for miles. Whilst it is often eclipsed by nearby Grey Wethers Stone Circles, this serene and little-visited tor is a delightful spot to enjoy a slice of Dartmoor solitude.

Hiking

Fantastic remote Tor with incredible views of the surrounding area. I hiked in from the direction of the East Dart Waterfall, which had me walking over tough sometimes boggy terrain at times. Hidden from view from the tor's summit is Grey Wethers Stone circle, which if in this area is also a must see.
