Riddon Ridge

Devon

Riddon Ridge stands at 381 metres on Dartmoor's central plateau, a granite tor of modest height but genuine character. The ridge offers unobstructed views across the surrounding moorland and far-reaching prospects when conditions are clear. The approach from nearby tracks is straightforward, making it a natural waypoint on longer Dartmoor walks.

The granite formations here are typical of central Dartmoor's weathered outcrops. In poor visibility the ridge can be harder to locate, but the open moorland setting means you are never lost for long. It sits well within the web of paths and cairns that cross this part of the moor, useful for walkers navigating between higher points.
