Tors & Landmarks

Great Links Tor

Devon

Great Links Tor rises prominently on Dartmoor's north-western side, visible from considerable distances as you approach the moor from the west. At 582 metres, it ranks among Dartmoor's highest points. The tor is dominated by a substantial granite outcrop around 40 feet high, with an OS Triangulation point on a block to the west that marks the most accessible climbing point for visitors.

The highest granite outcrop itself demands scrambling, with the eastern chimney offering the most straightforward route for those willing to climb. Nearby stand 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.
