Cranbrook Down

Devon

Cranbrook Down sits on the central moor at 335 metres, a rounded granite summit typical of Dartmoor's higher ground. The approach is straightforward moorland walking with few obstacles, crossing open heath that shifts with season and weather. The tor itself is gentle rather than dramatic, a gathering of weathered granite among heather and grass.

From the summit the views reach across the plateau to the more distinctive peaks that ring the moor's edge. On clear days the horizon extends far beyond Dartmoor itself. The walking here is honest and uncluttered, rewarding those who come for the solitude and wide skies rather than rocky scrambling.
