Tors & Landmarks

Down Ridge

Devon

Down Ridge is a small granite tor rising from the open moorland of eastern Dartmoor. Its name reflects its position along a ridge line rather than a dramatic summit, and the walk here is typical of the moor itself: grass and heather underfoot, granite outcrops scattered across the landscape, and the steady pace of upland walking.

From the tor, views extend across the plateau towards neighbouring high points and the rolling terrain that defines this part of Dartmoor. It is an accessible destination for those exploring the quieter eastern reaches of the moor, where the walking is gentle and the moorland character uninterrupted.
