Peak Hill

Grid ref: SX 5565 6994

Main image: Photo: Derek Harper, Wikimedia Commons

Peak Hill stands at around 400 metres on Dartmoor in Devon. Like other tors across the moor, it rises as a granite outcrop above the surrounding landscape. The hill marks one of several peaks of the same name found across England, though this Devon version is the one that sits on the open moorland that characterises Dartmoor itself.

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.
