Tors & Landmarks

Black Tor

Devon

Black Tor rises to 373 metres in the heart of Dartmoor, a granite outcrop that sits characterfully in the open moorland landscape. The tor itself is modest in scale but solid in presence, its rocks weathered by centuries of wind and weather. The approach is relatively easy, making it accessible to most walkers exploring this part of the moor.

The views from and around Black Tor reach across the expanse of central Dartmoor, with the moorland rolling away in most directions. It is one of many granite tors that punctuate Dartmoor's high ground, each marking a viewpoint and a natural waypoint in a landscape defined by these stone outcrops and open heath.
