Kitty Tor sits on the massive whaleback of Amicombe Hill, one of Dartmoor's highest points. It is a modest tor with two outcrops, a prominent flagpole that flies a red warning flag during military firing, and two huts nearby. The views from the summit are excellent, offering sweeping vistas across the moor despite the tor's relatively small size.

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.
