Tors & Landmarks

Lynch Tor

Devon

Lynch Tor stands on the high moor between Postbridge and Princetown, a compact granite peak that rises to 517 metres. The tor itself is modest in stature compared to Dartmoor's grander summits, but its position on open moorland gives clear views across the central plateau and out towards the tors of the eastern moor.

The approach is across open heath and grass, with few obstacles. The walk feels exposed and windswept, typical of Dartmoor's high ground. On clear days the granite stack rewards the effort, and the moorland setting offers the quiet, rolling sense of space that draws walkers to this landscape. The tor sits well for anyone exploring the routes between Postbridge and the western moor.
