Merripit Hill lies in northern Dartmoor between Postbridge and the Warren House Inn. There are only a few paths leading up to the top, running south to north from the B3212 road. The summit offers decent views to the south, including Hameldown, Yar Tor and Ryders Hill. A Second World War observation post sits at the top, making it a useful lookout point, though it can be bleak in winter.

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.
