Arch Tor
Devon
Arch Tor sits on the open moor of central Dartmoor, a relatively modest peak marked by weathered granite outcrops. The rocks here show the characteristic fracturing and erosion patterns typical of Dartmoor's granite, shaped by centuries of exposure to wind and weather. The tor commands views across the surrounding moorland, with the landscape rolling away in all directions toward the more prominent peaks beyond.
The walk to Arch Tor takes you across typical Dartmoor terrain: heather, grass and scattered boulders. It is a quiet spot, less crowded than some of the better known tors, offering a genuine sense of the moor's open, undeveloped character. The approach is straightforward walking country, rewarding for those who prefer solitude over spectacle.
