Higher Tor Farmhouse

Higher Tor Farmhouse stands on Dartmoor's open moorland, a vernacular stone building of considerable age. The farmhouse is graded II* by Historic England, indicating its architectural and historical significance. Its form and construction suggest origins in the medieval or early post-medieval period, when farming communities had already established themselves across the moor's less exposed slopes and valleys.

The building remains a working landmark in the moorland landscape, evidence of the long continuity of settlement and land use on Dartmoor. Visitors walking the high moor will encounter it as part of the wider pattern of farms, walls and archaeological remains that shape this ancient landscape. The stone structure endures much as it has for centuries, weathered by exposure to moorland weather.
