Peak Hill

Devon

Peak Hill stands as a straightforward moorland summit on central Dartmoor, its granite character typical of the higher ground hereabouts. At 400 metres, it offers the kind of uncluttered vantage point that makes Dartmoor walking rewarding: open sky and rolling moorland visible from the top, with distant tors marking the horizon.

The walk to Peak Hill takes you across typical moorland terrain, passing through heather and grass. It is the kind of place that rewards a quiet visit, where the moor itself is the main feature rather than any dramatic rock formation. Worth including in a longer moorland walk across this part of Dartmoor.
