Set Tor

Devon

Set Tor is a small but distinctive granite outcrop sitting on the open moor south of Postbridge. At 363 metres, it is not among Dartmoor's highest peaks, but its isolated position gives it good visibility across the surrounding moorland and makes it a natural waypoint on walks across central Dartmoor. The tor itself is modest in size, with typical granite tors and weathered stone characteristic of the area.

The walk to Set Tor is straightforward moorland walking across open ground with few obstacles. The tor sits within easy reach of several footpaths and makes a rewarding destination for those exploring this quieter part of the moor. On clear days the views extend across the moorland plateau, giving a sense of the scale and openness that defines Dartmoor's high ground.
