Hollow Tor
Devon
Hollow Tor sits on the central Dartmoor plateau, a modest outcrop of weathered granite that rises from the open moorland. The tor's name suggests a depression or hollow nearby, a feature characteristic of the moor's undulating granite landscape. From here the views stretch across the high plateau in all directions, with distant ridgelines and deeper valleys marking the moor's edges.
The approach is typical of central Dartmoor walking, across open grassland and heather with few landmarks. The tor itself is accessible and worth visiting as part of a longer moorland walk, offering a quiet vantage point away from the busier, higher peaks. Its granite outcrops reward closer inspection, weathered by centuries of wind and rain into the fractured forms that characterise the moor.
