Green Tor sits on the gentle south-west flank of Amicombe Hill, with several squat outcrops of granite breaking the moorland grass. It's best approached from Lydford High Down via a bridleway that skirts Great Links and the Dunnagoat Tors, leading to a clapper bridge over the Rattle Brook. The tor is close to Bleak House and offers views south along the Rattle Brook towards Hare Tor and Fur Tor.

Go deeper with Dartefacts
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.
