Black Ridge

Devon

Black Ridge is a modest high point on Dartmoor's central plateau, marked by granite outcrops that catch the light across the open moor. The tor sits in characteristic moorland, with heather and grass sweeping away in all directions and the kind of wide sky that defines this landscape.

The walk to Black Ridge is uncomplicated across open country, with few obstacles underfoot. The setting is quiet and remote without being difficult to reach, making it a useful waypoint on longer moorland walks. From the ridge you gain the kind of broad perspective on Dartmoor's plateau that walkers value: not dramatic height, but the genuine solitude and space of the high moor.
