Saddle Tor
Devon
Saddle Tor is a small granite peak that takes its name from the dip or col that characterises its profile. It sits on the open moorland of central Dartmoor, a quiet landmark that rewards closer inspection rather than one that dominates the horizon. The granite outcrop has the weathered character typical of Dartmoor's tors, shaped by centuries of exposure to the elements.
The approaches are straightforward across open moor, with views extending across the high plateau. Its modest height and accessible location make it a natural waypoint for walkers exploring this part of Dartmoor rather than a destination in itself. Like many smaller tors, Saddle Tor offers a good sense of the moor's scale and solitude, particularly on quieter days.
