Hickaton Hill
Devon
Hickaton Hill is a quiet granite tor rising from the open moorland of central Dartmoor. The climb is gentle and the summit offers wide views across the surrounding plateau and down towards the agricultural land that borders the moor to the south. It sits within a landscape of rough grass, heather and scattered boulders typical of Dartmoor's higher ground.
The approach is straightforward across the moor with few obstacles. The tor's low profile makes it an understated destination, but its location on the high plateaulands gives good visibility in clear weather. It is the kind of place that rewards quiet attention rather than dramatic views, and works well as part of a longer walk across the central moorlands.
