Maiden Hill is a fairly flat, featureless hill covered in cotton grass and boggy depressions. It sits within the Merrivale firing range, so visitors should be aware of military activity. The Lych Way runs just to the south, offering access, though the terrain is tough and often wet, especially in midwinter. The view to the south includes Conies Down Tor and the Cowsic Valley.

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.
