A truly ancient place, stretching back to 1400 BC. What a task constructing the surrounding wall must have been!

Bellever Tor is a hill near Postbridge in Dartmoor. It feels a bit like something from Lord of the Rings...

The small sacred monument, made of granite typical of the region, which the biker encounters at this spot, has been located here for several centuries. The familiar cross shape is difficult to recognize because the typical side arms of the longitudinal beam are largely missing, and only a few fragments of this monument are present.

It provides a scenic spot for photography and offers access to various walking routes that showcase the natural beauty of Dartmoor. The region around Hisley Bridge is also known for its wildlife and diverse ecosystems, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.

This tor is just a stone's throw from the nearby car park and towers over Dartmoor. Very impressive, good for a short tour, as a starting point for visiting other tors, for a picnic (depending on the unpredictable weather here 😉) or recently also for climbing (you could see a few people free climbing - but I can't say for sure whether it's allowed) and for treasure hunts. Otherwise just beautiful nature and (outside of tourist times) nice and quiet.
