Tors & Landmarks

Honeybag Tor

Devon

Honeybag Tor is a small granite peak set into the rolling landscape of central Dartmoor. Its name, like many on the moor, speaks to the character of the land, though the tor itself is unassuming, a natural waypoint rather than a dramatic feature. The granite outcrops that define it are typical of Dartmoor's high ground, weathered and fractured by centuries of moorland weather.

The approach across open moor offers the quieter pleasures of Dartmoor walking: wide views of the plateau, scattered gorse and heather depending on season, and the sense of walking into genuine upland country. From here you can see the texture of the moor stretching in all directions, a landscape that rewards patience and slow walking more than dramatic peaks.
