Heckwood Tor
Devon
Heckwood Tor is a small granite peak set in the quiet moorland south of Chagford. The tor itself is unassuming but characteristic of Dartmoor's scattered uplands, with weathered granite outcrops rising from the surrounding heath and grass. From this height you gain views across the central moor in all directions, with the landscape stretching open and largely treeless.
The walk here is gentle and typical of Dartmoor exploration. There are no defined paths to the tor, but the terrain is straightforward and the moorland navigation is rewarding for those comfortable with open country. The area around Heckwood Tor feels remote despite its accessibility, offering a sense of the moor's empty, rolling character.
