Tors & Landmarks

Hookney Tor

Devon

Hookney Tor is a granite peak situated on the open moorland of central Dartmoor, reaching 497 metres above sea level. Its weathered rocks rise from the surrounding heather and grass, a quiet landmark in the vast sweep of the moor rather than a dramatic summit.

The tor sits well away from the main visitor routes, making it a place of solitude for those who seek out the lesser-known high points. From here the views extend across Dartmoor's characteristic plateau landscape, with distant tors marking the horizon. The approach is across typical moorland terrain, rewarding steady walking with a sense of the moor's scale and emptiness.
