Aish Tor sits on Newbridge Common near Brake Corner, with a small cairn marking the summit. The actual tor is modest and flat, often overlooked, but offers good views towards the River Dart valley and Holne Chase. It's part of the protected Holne Woodlands Site of Special Scientific Interest and lies within Dartmoor National Park.

Go deeper with Dartefacts

Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
