Pew Tor stands on Whitchurch Common, offering fine views north towards Cox Tor and Princetown. Its layered granite towers form a natural amphitheatre, with short-cropped grass between the outcrops. Thirteen granite slabs, shaped like hot cross buns, mark the site, some carved in 1847. The tor is easily reached from the car park on Pork Hill, with well-worn paths leading up from all directions.

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.
