Lowery Tor sits on the side of Peek Hill, offering fine views down to Burrator Reservoir and across to Plymouth Sound. It is often missed by visitors to Peek Hill, as it lies below and cannot be seen from the summit. The easiest way to reach it is from Peek Hill or Leather Tor, with a tough climb from the reservoir below. It is not marked on modern OS maps but is well documented in Dartmoor literature.

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.
