Sharp Tor
Devon
Sharp Tor stands as a distinct granite outcrop on the high central moor, its name earned from the pointed character of its summit rocks. At 519 metres, it commands views across open moorland in all directions, a landscape of rolling heath and distant tors. The surrounding terrain is typical Dartmoor, with rough grass, heather and the weathered granite that defines the park.
The tor is accessible by straightforward moorland walking from several approaches. Its modest height and prominent position make it a satisfying destination for walkers exploring this part of Dartmoor, whether as a standalone visit or as part of a longer route across the high moor. The granite itself tells the story of Dartmoor's geology, weathered and fractured over millennia.
