    Tips

    Hiking

    Whilst it's not quite as grand as Great Staple Tor a few hundred metres north, Middle Staple Tor is still a worthy waymark affording some magnificent views across the Dartmoor landscape.

    Mountain biking

    A must detour from the Quarryman's Path bridleway, enjoy the views down over Merrivale and the River Walkham valley to the south, with the similarly sized Roos Tor close-by to the north-east.

    Middle Staple Tor (Dartmoor) – A Wild Camp with Stunning Views

    I visited Staple Tor and wild camped on Middle Staple Tor during a recent bikepacking trip through Cornwall and Dartmoor. I pushed up from the nearby car park — a handy spot to pause for a refreshment before the final ascent. In good weather, the tors look deceptively close, but Middle Staple Tor sits just over 450m, and with a fully loaded rig, I ended up pushing most of the way.
