Emsworthy Rocks is a huge elongated ridge of granite outcrops halfway between Holwell Tor and Saddle Tor. It stretches around 400 metres east-west, with some outcrops named Fitches' Holt and Whortleberry Rock. The area has old tramway rails and quarries on the eastern side, and offers fine views towards Hound Tor Combe and Hameldown. It sits on a natural path between Saddle Tor and Haytor, making it easily accessible.

Go deeper with Dartefacts
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.
