Tors & Landmarks

Hollow Tor

Devon

Hollow Tor is a low granite outcrop that rises from the open moor in central Dartmoor, unmarked by fanfare but characteristic of the moor's scattered stone formations. Its modest height and unassuming character make it easy to walk past, yet it commands views across the moorland plateau to the rolling terrain beyond.

The tor sits in country well-suited to walking, with good access across open ground. Its name suggests a depression or hollow associated with the rocks, a feature common to many of Dartmoor's tors where granite weathering has created pockets and crevices. Like many such peaks, it rewards a visit as part of a wider moorland walk rather than as a destination in itself.
