Hatherleigh Tor is a small granite peak located near Lustleigh, east of the A382. It is part of the East Dartmoor landscape, often overshadowed by more famous tors but still a notable feature. The tor can be seen from the north of Hatherleigh Farm, particularly from the south entrance to Higher Knowle Wood, where the granite outcrop is partially hidden by trees.
