Great Links Tor rises prominently on Dartmoor's north-western side, visible from most angles - it's a great place to take some photographs. At 582 metres, it's amongst Dartmoor's highest points.
The tor is dominated by several substantial granite outcrops, with a Trig point on a block to the west - really fun to try and climb when it's blowing a hooley.
A short walk away are the remains of the Rattlebrook Peat Works and the ruins of Bleak House, remnants of moorland industry and settlement. The tor's prominence and position make it a natural landmark on walks across the north-western moor.

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.
