Meldon Hill
Devon
Meldon Hill rises to 390 metres on the central plateau of Dartmoor, a straightforward summit crowned with granite outcrops. The tor sits in open moorland where paths cross the watershed between river systems, and the walking here is direct and uncluttered. From the top, views reach across the high moor to neighbouring tors and southward to the softer valleys beyond the park boundary.
The approach across the moor is typical Dartmoor: rough turf, bog in wetter sections, and the granite itself emerging from the moorland as you climb. This is not a dramatic peak, but a useful landmark and a good vantage point for those crossing the central plateau. On clear days it rewards straightforward moorland walking with the kind of perspective that makes sense of Dartmoor's scale.
