King Tor
Devon
King Tor is a small granite peak set on the open moor of central Dartmoor. The tor itself is characterised by typical weathered granite outcrops, modest in height but distinctive in its moorland setting. From the summit, views stretch across the surrounding moorland in all directions, with the typical patchwork of grass, heather and distant higher points visible on clear days.
The walk to King Tor is straightforward, accessible from the surrounding moorland paths and tracks. It sits well within the grain of Dartmoor's walking landscape, making it a natural stop during moorland exploration. The approach is unhurried, across open ground where the granite landscape reveals itself gradually as you move across the moor.
