Situated north-east of a Bronze Age pound on Cudlipptown Down, Little White Tor is a scattered pile of jagged black-faced rocks with a west-facing three-metre-high cliff. The views to the south of Roos, Cocks and Sharp Tors are exceptional, while to the south-west the craggy outline of Smearn Ridge is visible. It lies on the edge of the Merrivale firing range, so watch for red flags if heading further.

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.
