Hameldown Beacon sits on the eastern side of Dartmoor along the Two Moors Way, offering excellent views east towards Haytor and west towards Princetown. It's a popular spot for walkers, with the ridge providing a fairly flat path once reached. The area is well connected to other tors like Hameldown Tor and Grimspound, making it a natural stop on longer walks across the moor.

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.
