Hookney Tor stands on the eastern side of Dartmoor, with views across the valley to Challacombe and the nearby Grimspound settlement. It consists of several granite piles and is part of the Two Moors Way, offering a path that connects it to Hameldown Tor to the south and Shapley Tor to the north. The tor is close to the Vitifer Mine and overlooks one of Dartmoor's heavily tin-mined areas.

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.
