Sittaford Tor 537.7m P20.1 (1764ft) [List Objective: English sub Dodds] (DoBIH Hill ID: 7776) [JNSA s2116] Dartmoor National Park Definitive List summit.

It is a distinctive rock, not only for its magnificent views, but also for its huge rock pool at the summit, formed by the weathering of weakened feldspar crystals. Before geological processes were fully understood, rock pools were described in folklore as the work of the Druids, who needed a camp as close to the sky as possible to "store sacred water and collect the blood of human sacrifices".

The ever so slightly smaller summit of High Willhays, Yes Tor feels grander due to the large granite outcrop. Standing beside the triangulation point atop of Yes Tor offers beautiful views in all directions. A must climb if hiking with the Meldon area.

At 2,031 feet (619 m) Yes Tor is lower than neighbouring High Willhays, but it's arguably the better summit. The rocky summit tor is topped with a trig point, military shelter box and a flag pole used to mark when the range is in use. It's a great viewpoint in the northwestern edge of Dartmoor and a brilliant run destination.

Impressive little tor, as I was on a timed pass through I had time for little more than catching a view. One to revisit with a flask and sandwiches

One of my favourite tors on the park for prominence and height. Feels more impressive than it's slightly greater neighbour hill willhays.
