Cocks Hill

Devon

Cocks Hill stands at 501 metres in the heart of Dartmoor's rolling terrain. It is a granite peak of modest prominence, typical of the moor's landscape, with open approaches across heather and grass. The walk to it is undemanding and the summit offers the kind of views that define central Dartmoor: rolling expanses in all directions, with the moor's character fully visible.

The tor sits well for walkers seeking a straightforward high point without technical scrambling. From the summit the sense of being on open moor is clear and satisfying. It is a good vantage for understanding Dartmoor's scale and the way the land rises and falls across the park.
