This tor isn’t the highest in Dartmoor – a prize that goes to its immediate neighbour, High Willhays – but it may as well be. Yes Tor lies in the north west of the national park’s wild moorland and is much more distinctive than the true high point. It was actually long considered the moor’s crowning peak until more accurate measurements were taken, and it lost out by a mere 6.5 feet (2 m).

This Highlight is in a protected area

The second highest point in Dartmoor National Park offers stunning vistas of North Devon and Cornwall. Note: it is close to a military range, so check for firing times before your visit (dartmoor-ranges.co.uk/firing_notice_1.html). Always start out well equipped on tours through Dartmoor!

The second highest point on Dartmoor is a beautiful trig pointed summit. Very accessible and an easy hike for most people to do. The best thing is the wonderful views, especially on a sky blue spring day like today. Love raw and rugged Dartmoor!❤️

There is parking quite near by so this is an easy tor to climb on a short trip.
