Leeden Tor sits on Walkhampton Common, to the west of the B3312 road. It features several granite stacks, with the southernmost having five rock basins, two of which form a peanut-shaped cavity. The tor is best approached from a small car park to the south, and offers good views towards Great Mis Tor and Cox Tor. The area is marked as 'Leeden Tor' on modern maps, though some sources insist the correct spelling is 'Leedon Tor'.
