Leather Tor Farm

Leather Tor Farm stands as a scattered collection of stone foundations and walls on the open moor, a tangible record of the lives once lived on this exposed plateau. Like many Dartmoor farmsteads, it tells of families who farmed marginal land, their buildings gradually surrendering to the elements and the encroaching vegetation that characterizes the high moor.

The site rewards those willing to walk out into the landscape and sit with its quiet ruins. There's little interpretation here, just stones, sky, and the sense of human endeavour against an unforgiving terrain. It's the kind of place that makes Dartmoor's social history feel immediate and real.
