West Mill Tor 542.7m P20.3 (1780ft) (DoBIH Hill ID: 19861) [JNSA s2045] Dartmoor National Park Definitive List summit.

West Mill Tor is an easy climb from the base of Yes Tor and offers fantastic views in all directions. A sizeable outcrop with various routes to climb to get to the top, varying from safe and simple to steep and trechuous. There is a small stream to cross at the base between Yes Tor and the ground can be waterlogged so will require abit of dry hopping or good footwear.

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!

Part of the okehamptons three sisters of row tor, west mill and yes tor, west mill is a great pitch for a camp and view of yes tor

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.

Make sure to check out the military times. As drills are taken out here on certain days.

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.

If you are hiking to Yes Tor, don't pass by West Mill Tor without a visit. It almost looks like the ruins of a castle and is very recognisable. The views from up here take you all the way across to Exmoor National Park in the north or south west to Yes Tor. Simply stunning.

A charming start to the extensive collection of tors on the Belstone Ridge, Tors End is a long thin band of exposed granite, stretching up the north-western edge of Belstone Common, with an extensive clitter field on the western side. In 'High Dartmoor' Hemery mentions the outcrop but appears to incorrectly place it at the northern edge of the higher ground, at what we call 'Belstone Common Tor'; "...the land falls sharply to a fine satellite pile; smaller, but fiercely characteristic, its bold cone dominates the declining northward crest and is aptly known as Tors End (approx. 1,500 feet)." Also, there is, according to Hemery, a small quarry at the north end known as 'Sand Pit'. As Tors End was the easiest tor to get to and being located closest to the village it seems to have been a target for quarrying. A quarter segment of an abandoned apple crusher can be found on the east side of the main outcrop. There are also abandoned millstones and troughs on the slopes all around the Belstone Tors area. Tim Jenkinson (2001/2) writes; "The quarry at Sand Pit is symbolic of the interest in Belstone's granite and most probably reflects the execution of Venville Rights, a privilege bestowed upon the inhabitants of Dartmoor in return of the payment of rent to the Duchy." Venville Rights allow local people "to remove anything from the Forest that may be for their own use and good"; they date back to 1609 during the reign of James I when it was decreed that the "digging and removal of moorstone is to be used only for the mending of houses and land." Just over 100 years ago Dora James (1911) depicts an interesting scene at the village of Belstone; she bemoans; "There are now at least two granite working yards in the village, although the owners have I believe to pay an annual fee to the Duchy for the removal of stone in such large quantities, which, if for their good, can scarcely be considered for their 'own use'." At that time Belstone was a hive of industry and rocks that were being plundered from the tors, and some stones were worked upon in situ and presumably cast aside if imperfect - that's why we find so many abandoned artefacts up there. Dora was very unhappy about the whole situation as she calls the working places an "eyesore" and felt that the process of "digging out and cutting up the glorious piles" of Belstone Tors "are infinitely to be regretted." She refers to the stones as "grey memorials". It is more commonly accepted by the locals that this, the lower outcrop, is the actual location.

Unfortunately, the Ordnance Survey representation of the Belstone Ridge is rather disappointing, naming only Belstone Tor and Higher Tor; and while indeed these are prominent tors, it leaves out equally impressive and fascinating outcrops, particularly at the north end. As a result of this, there has been confusion as to the names for some of these rockpiles, leaving some to call the entire collection 'Belstone Tors'. One tor in particular between Belstone Tor and Tors End despite its prominence appears to have never been named, so we have simply labelled this 'Belstone Common Tor'. In the past it has been incorrectly labelled 'Tors End' and even 'Ladybrook Tor', the latter a robust outcrop sitting on the opposite hillside above the River Taw. Eric Hemery (1983) mentions the outcrop at the northern end of the high ground but identifies it, in our opinion, incorrectly; "...the land falls sharply to a fine satellite pile; smaller, but fiercely characteristic, its bold cone dominates the declining northward crest and is aptly known as Tors End (approx. 1,500 feet)." Whilst this is certainly the end of the high ground, which may have swayed Hemery, it ignores the outcrops below to the north-west, which are the true end of the Belstone Ridge and the accepted location of Tors End known to locals. Belstone Common Tor is a fabulous tor in its own right, sufficiently detached from its neighbours to warrant an identity. Its composition is surprisingly dissimilar when compared to the rest of the common: its main pile is a massive heap of broken stones, presenting almost alpine-like from the south. The tor's appearance - that of a jumbled mound of granite rocks - is reminiscent of Sharpitor near Burrator Reservoir. The concentration of clitter all around, but particularly on the east flank of the hill, is mesmerising and indicative of these tors' former magnitude before they were brutally broken up by weathering. The area, strewn as it is by magnificent granite blocks, has also been a target for stonecutters who utilised the abundance of rock and easy accessibility from Belstone village to cut up stone for monetary gain. The north side of Belstone Common Tor has suffered by the scar of a small quarry where you can find an abandoned granite roller at SX 61589 92494, buried in the turf. Where granite cracked under pressure or transportation was deemed to be too laborious, these artefacts were simply abandoned in situ. A number of millstones, troughs, and apple crushers can be found amidst the clitter. The lively stonecutting industry at Belstone Common was not without its critics, however. One well-known figure was Dora James (1911) who proclaimed that the "digging out and cutting up of the glorious piles are infinitely to be regretted." Later, she refers to the stones as "grey memorials", clearly expressing her sadness and frustration at the enterprise. It is fortunate that the extent of the quarrying was kept to a minimum and never took off or else we may be left with an entirely different scene today. On top of the tor you will notice the remains of a concrete flagpole base; presumably this was placed here because of the more extensive views afforded of Belstone from where it could be viewed. Bob Fitzpatrick (2017) also noted no less than three rock basins near to this which are thought to be undocumented. At least two of the basins can retain water and are unusual in that none of the other Dartmoor tors this far north possess any basins. Mr. Ormerod (1859) himself states that: "From near the same point in the northerly part of the moor the Tavy flows westerly and the Teign easterly: to the north of these rivers very few rock-basins exist, and those too are in the immediate vicinity of these rivers. The Belstone examples are therefore unique.

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.

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!❤️
