Tors & Landmarks

Black Hill

Devon

Black Hill is a quiet granite tor on the central moor, standing above the surrounding heather and grass without dramatic flourish. Its low profile makes it an easy find for walkers exploring this part of Dartmoor, and the approach across open moorland offers the kind of wide views that define the moor's character. The tor itself is modest in stature but solid in presence, a natural vantage point worth the gentle climb.

The walk here is unhurried moorland walking on generally open ground. There are no technical challenges, making Black Hill a good choice for those seeking the moorland experience without exposure or difficulty. The tor sits well within Dartmoor's granite landscape, part of the quiet backbone of high ground that runs through the park.
