Rippon Tor
Devon
Rippon Tor rises prominently on the eastern high moors, a bold outcrop of weathered granite crowned with three substantial cairns, a triangulation pillar, and scattered rock piles. The tor commands the landscape near Fernworthy Forest and Great Mis Tor, offering views across the northern plateau and the open moorland that surrounds it.
The approach is open moorland walking with field boundaries marking the lower ground. The granite itself, typical of Dartmoor's raw character, catches the light in different ways depending on the season and weather. This is genuine high moorland country, neither remote nor especially difficult, but with the honest appeal of the moor's working landscape.
