Top Tor

Highlight • Natural Monument

Top Tor is located high on Blackslade Down. It is an easy tor to scramble up and affords wonderful views over Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Haytor Rocks.

Tip by

783 m

Pil Tor is an impressive rock formation that affords terrific views over the rugged Dartmoor landscape, especially over Haytor, Saddle Tor and Widecombe in the Moor. It's relatively challenging and therefore great fun to scramble upon.

Tunhill Rocks Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This collection of granite rocks overlooks the beautiful village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor in the Dartmoor National Park.

The rocks are thought to be the inspiration of the fictional 'Dream Tor' described in author and poet Beatrice Chase's novel.

3.88 km

Rippon Tor

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views from Rippon Tor are absolutely spectacular. As it's a little more challenging to get to than Haytor, you can enjoy this spot in relative solitude, too. While many visitors overlook Rippon Tor, the site is steeped in history from the Bronze Age to the present day and is definitely worth seeing.

4.61 km

Hemsworthy Gate

Highlight • Viewpoint

A spectacular rolling road section along here from Hay Tor to Hemsworthy Gate and from Hemsworthy Gate towards Widecombe, with smooth tarmac and incredible moorland views.

The gate refers to the cattle grid and stone wall near the road junction for Widecombe, Bickington and Hay Tor.
