Tors & Landmarks

Rowtor

Devon

Rowtor sits at 468 metres on Dartmoor's central plateau, a granite peak of modest height but characteristic stone. The tor commands views across the open moorland to surrounding tors and the rolling landscape beyond. It is accessible by a moderate walk across open ground, making it a natural destination for those exploring the moor's higher ground.

The approach is straightforward from the valleys that cradle this part of Dartmoor, and the tor offers the quiet reward of a high point on the moor itself. On clear days the vistas stretch across the granite backbone of Dartmoor, with fellow tors visible across the heather and grass.
