Crane Hill is a grassy high point on Dartmoor, best approached from Nun’s Cross Farm with views across the Fox Tor Mires. From the top, the outlook is excellent, looking down the Plym Valley towards Plymouth or back across to North Hessary Tor and the mast. The area is accessible but requires a walk through boggy and tussocky terrain.
Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
Our Dartmoor doesn't track you and runs no adverts. We use one cookie to make the
site work, and some pages load videos, maps or optional social media panels from other sites, the panels only if you choose to show them.
