Holne Ridge is one of the highest points in southern Dartmoor, with Ryder's Hill marking its peak at the highest elevation. To the south-west, the ridge offers views over mires and bogs, while to the north-east, it overlooks the Dart Gorge and its numerous tors, including Sharp Tor. The ridge is also home to several notable features such as Horn's Cross, an ancient cross, and Venford Reservoir, which supplies water to the Paignton area.

Go deeper with Dartefacts

Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
