High Willhays
Devon
High Willhays is the highest point on Dartmoor and the highest point in Southern England, standing at 621 metres above sea level. The summit is marked by granite outcrops characteristic of the moor, and on clear days the views extend far beyond Dartmoor itself across Devon and towards the coast.
The walk to High Willhays crosses open moorland and is accessible from several routes. The exposed position means weather can change quickly, and the granite rocks underfoot demand careful footing. As the moor's highest point, it remains a natural destination for walkers seeking both the vantage point and the sense of standing on Dartmoor's crown.
