Leigh Tor is a low-lying tor on the east spur of a hill, just across the road from Aish Tor. It's a ridge of metamorphic rock, part of the Crackington Formation, and offers a good scramble to the top with views down to Spitchwick and across to Buckland Beacon. The Two Moors Way passes its north side, and the best time to visit is in winter when the surrounding woodland is less dense.

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.
