Middle Staple Tor (Dartmoor) – A Wild Camp with Stunning Views I visited Staple Tor and wild camped on Middle Staple Tor during a recent bikepacking trip through Cornwall and Dartmoor. I pushed up from the nearby car park — a handy spot to pause for a refreshment before the final ascent. In good weather, the tors look deceptively close, but Middle Staple Tor sits just over 450m, and with a fully loaded rig, I ended up pushing most of the way. That effort was well worth it. The views from the top were incredible, offering a wide sweep of the surrounding moorland. I could see the weather rolling in from a distance, which gave me just enough time to dive into the tent before the rain and low visibility hit. A classic Dartmoor moment. The descent via the old quarryman’s path is short but enjoyable, leading back to the road toward Princetown — perfect for a hot breakfast and access to town facilities. A memorable spot for wild camping and a peaceful overnight on the moor. Tips: • Bring proper gear, footwear and prepare for pushing your bike up rocky paths • Keep an eye on the weather — it changes fast up there and is generally cooler even in summer • Ideal for wild camping with amazing sunrise views if you’re lucky with the weather

A short, easy tour: clear landscapes, soft grassy paths, gentle inclines, and magnificent views. A beautiful loop around the Langstone Manor campsite.

The cist stones of Dartmoor are ancient burial structures dating back to the Bronze Age. Scattered across the moorland, these stone-lined tombs were used for cremation burials, often covered by a cairn. They offer a glimpse into the region's prehistoric past and are a key feature of Dartmoor’s archaeological landscape.

Here the hiker passes an ancient wayside cross made of granite. This small, sacred monument does not impress with a special or even striking design. Rather, it is the symbol of faith that has aged in simple dignity - and at the same time a sign along the way - that still leaves a deep impression in the middle of this lonely landscape. It can be assumed that the builders at the time did not just want to set up a profane wayside sign, but also asked for God's protection and blessing with this cross.
