Herne Hole Tor sits just beyond a wooden stile on land owned by Dartmoor Prison, accessible from the B3357. It's a small tor with two large granite outcrops and a cleft that reveals more rock below. A lone hawthorn tree shelters on the edge, and the views to the east and north are excellent, with Great Mis Tor and Haytor visible in the distance.

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.
