Merripit Hill
Devon
Merripit Hill stands as a quiet granite summit on the central moor, reaching 449 metres above sea level. The tor itself is modest by Dartmoor standards, its rocks weathered and scattered across the hilltop, but it commands views across open moorland in all directions. The surrounding landscape is characteristically spare and rolling, with typical Dartmoor vegetation and wide horizons.
The approach is straightforward moorland walking, accessible from several directions across open ground. The hill sits well within the high moor and makes a natural waypoint on longer walks across this part of Dartmoor. Its low profile and exposed position mean it is always windy at the summit, and the views are clearest on settled weather.
