Devils Tor Outcrop

Devon

Devils Tor is a small granite outcrop, unnamed on most maps but known locally by reputation. It rises from the open moorland of northern Dartmoor, offering a straightforward walk across typical moor terrain to reach its summit. The tor itself is modest in stature, more a gathering of granite blocks than a dramatic peak, but it commands its ground well in the surrounding landscape.

The approach is easy going, crossing the kind of rough grassland and heather that gives Dartmoor its character. From the outcrop, views extend across the gentle undulating moor in all directions, with distant ridges and tors marking the horizon. This is quiet country, away from the busier valleys, where solitude and the immensity of the open moor are the real rewards of the walk.
