Leigh Tor

Devon

Leigh Tor is a small granite outcrop on Dartmoor's eastern reaches, rising from the open moorland between Widecombe and Manaton. The tor itself is modest in stature, characteristic of many Dartmoor peaks, and offers an unpretentious vantage point across the high plateau.

The walk to Leigh Tor is gentle and accessible, following moorland paths through typical Dartmoor terrain. From the summit, views extend across the surrounding moor, with the granite landscape rolling away in all directions. It is the kind of place that appeals to those who prefer quiet exploration over dramatic peaks.
