Get directions

Lower White Tor is a compact group of granite outcrops set in a marshy area, with a well-travelled path connecting it to nearby tors. The ground can be treacherous after rain, with hidden holes in the surrounding marsh. From here, the view stretches across the moor, taking in Rough Tor to the north and the distant heights of Hamel Down to the east.

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.
