Very photogenic spot

Burrator Reservoir is a stunning reservoir in Dartmoor. It sits on the southern side, as it was built to supply water to the people of Plymouth. Here there is a lovely little unnamed water fall coming into the reservoir off the thick wooded western hillside. There is also a little bench seat here. A great break spot if you're doing a lakeside trail.

The tor is romantically situated at a point where the slope breaks off briefly to form a spectacular series of upward-jutting rocks that, from certain angles, look like a series of jagged granite needles. Grea Tor is partially adorned with a maze of climbing plants that give it a colourful appearance: from the south, the two main crags are quite bare, with a huge cave in the eastern cluster; from the north, near the medieval village of Hound Tor, the crags are much more vegetated, where trees obscure some of the granite. In the summer months, bracken surrounds the southern base of the crags, but the crags nevertheless have an appearance that inevitably impresses the visitor who approaches and climbs over the granite. https://www.torsofdartmoor.co.uk/tor-page.php?tor=greator-rocks

It's like diving into another world. First the vastness with the low vegetation and suddenly nature changes and it becomes green in different shades, with trees and a stream. Simply mystical... 🧚‍♀️🦄🤩😂

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.

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

For those looking to clarify camping regulations following the high court ruling on wild camping, there is a link in this video's description https://youtu.be/kRD59PI9jZI

The highest point of both Dartmoor and southern England!

High Willhays is the highest point in the south west and just bests it's neighbour Yes Tor, I like approaching from the okemont drop, coming from kitty tor down and up via fordsland ledge. An absolute beast of a run or hike up

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.

At 2,037 feet (621 m) High Willhays is the highest point of Dartmoor National Park, and also the highest point in England, south of the Peak District. High Willhays is two metres higher than nearby Yes Tor, but not as prominent or rocky. It's a brilliant run from Okehampton, Meldon Reservoir or from a wilder direction across the moor.

Leat waterfall is a waterfall that can be seen at Burrator Reservoir, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is formed by the water from the historic Devonport Leat, which was built in the 18th century to supply water to Plymouth Dockyard. The leat runs along the valley and ends at Burrator in a cascade of water that drops into the reservoir. The waterfall can be viewed from a footpath that follows the leat and crosses a bridge over it. The footpath also leads to the Burrator Discovery Centre, which offers exhibitions and displays about Burrator’s history, wildlife and culture. Leat waterfall is one of the attractions of Burrator Reservoir, which is a popular destination for families, nature enthusiasts, historians and Dartmoor lovers alike. The reservoir offers ample walks, views and wildlife, as well as fishing opportunities. You can also explore one of Dartmoor’s most spectacular tors, Sheepstor, which dominates Burrator and offers one of the most impressive views of the reservoir.

A fascinating collection of old remains, well worth taking 10 mins in your hike to explore.

Lovely section of path that would also be great to include in a trail run. The path is interesting and a perfect gradient whichever way you use it.

Lovely little trail, stunning views and some awesome fauna. Really enjoyed this little section, highly highly recommend.
