Get directions

Arch Tor sits above the ruins of the Powder Mills, accessible via the Lych Way. It has a carved 'PC' inscription on its western face and a collection of wide, shallow rock basins on the summit. The views from here are expansive, taking in nearby tors and the distant Ryders Hill on clear days. It's a solitary spot, best approached on foot from the B3212 road.

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.
