Feather Tor is a small tor on Whitchurch Common, not too far from the B3357 road at Pork Hill. It is an emergent tor, where not all of the granite has fully emerged from the surface. To the east lies Vixen Tor, and to the south is Pew Tor. The nearby Windy Post Cross, a 16th-century cross, adds historical interest to the area.
