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.

Highest point of Devon and Southern England at 621m, accesible form various routes within the area. Although not as grand or striking as other Tors in the area such as Yes, Great Links or West Mills it offers beautiful 360 degree views in all directions.

A beautiful section of route 27 Granite Way where the trail opens up as you pass across the Meldon Viaduct. Views across show the undulating hills of the highest area within Dartmoor National park where High Willhays and Yes Tor are situated.

High Willhays is the highest point but it’s neighbour yes tor always feels somewhat grander, for a steep descent and climb head down past fordsland ledge into the okemont valley and back up to kitty tor

The highest point of both Dartmoor and southern England!

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.

Good view of the dam from here

The higher part of the park but slightly underwhelming in comparison to Yes Tor or Great Links Tor. A must to visit though and the nearby Fordsland Ledge boasts a stunning view of the Okemont Valley.

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

When pitching up on Yes Tor always look at the wind profile and find a pitch as sheltered as possible. It can be an absolute wind tunnel when it wants to.

PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY: Once me and my dad walked up here by accident!

Yes Tor for me is one of the most impressive Tors in the park, while it is one of the highest it is also one of the windiest places you can find in the south west. It's trig point is one I always appreciate each time I visit.

Nice views. Probably great in autumn, see the trees in different shades of color.

The highest point on Dartmoor and the highest summit south of the Brecon Beacons. 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!❤️

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!❤️

Stunning views, great for families or as part of a long ride

Great riding and views. Easy access from the Granite Way cycle route. Best to ride in good weather as it's very exposed. lots of trails to explore close by
