Fox Tor

Devon

Fox Tor is a relatively minor tor on Dartmoor, rising to approximately 438 metres above sea level. Its low granite outcrops are characteristic of many Dartmoor peaks, sitting simply in the open moorland without dramatic fanfare or distinctive silhouette from distance.

The tor sits in accessible moorland terrain, making it a practical walking destination for those exploring central Dartmoor. The surrounding landscape offers the typical moorland character of the high ground, with views across the plateau and its network of valleys. It forms one point among many in the tor landscape that rewards the walker with quiet observation rather than spectacle.
