Maiden Hill

Devon

Maiden Hill is a small granite tor situated on the open eastern reaches of Dartmoor. The summit offers a genuine sense of elevation and exposure, with views across the moorland plateau in most directions. The granite character is understated rather than dramatic, but the hill rewards a visit with its clear vantage point over the surrounding landscape.

The walk to Maiden Hill is straightforward, accessible from nearby moorland paths and bridleways. Its location on the eastern moor makes it a natural stop for walkers exploring this less crowded part of Dartmoor. The hill sits comfortably within the moorland grain, neither isolated nor clustered, and makes a good waypoint on longer moorland routes.
