This impressive jumble of granite rocks lies in the far north west of Dartmoor National Park. With high, open moorland to the south and east, and flatter, patchwork farmland to the west and north, Sourton Tors provide fantastic views.

It's well worth hiking up to the summit from the numerous trails that go around the base, particularly on a clear day. Be mindful of the weather on the tors as well as on the open moor in general. Exposed, particularly from prevailing winds (and rain), the weather can turn quickly.

Sourton Tor is a fine tor sitting in the north west corner of Dartmoor, high above the village of Sourton. There are 5 or 6 outcrops of rocks scattered over a wide area, one of which has an appearance of a crooked nose witch! There’s a trig point beside the highest of these outcrops, with brilliant views to the west and Cornwall. However there are also views into Dartmoor with Great Links Tor and Yes Tor also in view. There are plenty of parking places below this tor, use the road up to the water works for the best parking spots, making it an easy ascent from there.

On the northern side of this tor is the old iceworks factory, used to produce ice in the winter months to help transport food.

This tor is not in the military firing range although heading any further east (about a 1km) will put you into the Okehampton range.
