Tors & Landmarks

Leather Tor

Devon

Leather Tor is a small granite peak rising from the open moorland of central Dartmoor. Its modest height and unassuming character make it a quiet waypoint rather than a destination in itself, yet it sits within some of Dartmoor's most characteristic landscape. The tor offers views across the surrounding moorland, with the broader sweep of Dartmoor visible in most directions.

The walk to Leather Tor is undemanding, crossing typical moorland terrain. It sits well for those exploring the central plateau on foot, easily combined with walks to nearby features. Like many smaller tors, it rewards visits for its sense of place and the moorland character around it rather than any dramatic vistas or special distinction.
