Greator Rocks sit on the side of Hound Tor, overlooking the Becka Brook valley. The tor consists of two large granite piles covered in moss and vegetation, with a cave in the eastern pile. From the south, the rock faces are bare, while the northern side is more overgrown. A short scramble up the rocks offers good views along the valley and towards Haytor.

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.
