Set Tor, also known as Setters Rocks, is a modest collection of flat, non-granite outcrops located south of the path between Boulters Tor and White Tor. It sits near Stephen's Grave and offers good views westward and of nearby tors like White Tor and Cox Tor. The rocks are composed of hornblende and are best viewed from a distance, with the largest stone showing weathered, step-like features.

Go deeper with Dartefacts

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.
