Gren Tor is a small granite outcrop just above the Rattlebrook railway, close to Lydda Bridge and Hunt Tor. It sits on the north-west edge of Dartmoor and provides good views across to Cornwall and down the River Lyd valley towards Great Nodden. The easiest way to reach it is by following the Rattlebrook railway path, which passes about 120 metres from the tor. The name 'Gren' is a corruption of 'Green', reflecting its grass-covered appearance.

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.
