Rowtor is a small but distinctive tor on the northern edge of Dartmoor, close to Okehampton Camp and the Okehampton firing range. Access can be restricted during live firing. It offers views towards West Mill Tor and Yes Tor, with several granite piles to explore. The tor is overshadowed by larger neighbours but remains a solid spot for walkers.

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.
