Brat Tor

Grid ref: SX 5395 8556

Brat Tor sits on the western edge of Dartmoor, marked by Widgery Cross, a tall granite monument erected in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The cross is the highest standing Dartmoor cross outside a cemetery and is notable for its stacked granite blocks. The tor offers fine views across West Devon and as far as Bodmin Moor. It's easily reached from the car park near Lydford, though visitors should check firing times for nearby ranges.
