Tors & Landmarks

Higher Hartor

Devon

Higher Hartor is a small granite tor rising from the central plateau of Dartmoor. Its rocky outcrops command views across the moorland in all directions, taking in the rolling expanse of the high moor and the silhouettes of neighbouring tors. The approach is across open heathland typical of Dartmoor's interior, with few natural features to break the journey.

The tor makes a straightforward destination for walkers exploring the central moor. Its modest height and exposed position mean weather can change quickly, but on clear days the views reward the effort. It sits within the quiet heart of the moor, away from the main paths, offering a sense of solitude that characterises this part of Dartmoor.
