    Tips

    October 1, 2018

    Birch Tor offers splendid views over central Dartmoor, particularly over Soussons and Yar Tor. Birch Tor was also home to the last working tin mine on Dartmoor, the Vitifer Mine, which ran until 1925. Plenty of evidence of the mine can still be seen when you visit today.

        Great views over Dartmoor, loads of stuff left from the mine that used to be there.
