Beardown Tors

Devon

Beardown Tors sits high on the open moor at 514 metres above sea level, making it the 14th highest summit on Dartmoor. Like many of the moor's prominent peaks, it is crowned with characteristic granite tors that catch the light and draw the eye across the surrounding landscape.

The walk to Beardown Tors takes you across typical Dartmoor terrain, where heather, grass and bog shape the character of the ground. From this height you gain the kind of perspective the moor offers: wide views across neighbouring summits and the moorland plateau. It is a destination for those who enjoy the straightforward pleasure of walking to high ground and standing among Dartmoor's granite architecture.
