Barn Hill Rocks lie on Whitchurch Common, near Pork Hill car park. The views from here stretch west to Cornwall and the Caradon Hills, with Vixen Tor, Kings Tor and North Hessary Tor visible to the east. A simple walk connects it to Feather Tor and Pew Tor, making it a convenient stop on a longer tour of the moor.

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.
