Smallacombe Rocks
Devon
Smallacombe Rocks is a small granite peak set in the open moorland of central Dartmoor. Its name suggests a sheltered valley nearby, a reminder of how the moor's geography is written into its place names. The rocks themselves are characteristic of Dartmoor's granite, weathered and fractured by time and frost.
The walk to Smallacombe Rocks takes you across typical moorland with heather, gorse and open views. The tor rewards a visit not for dramatic height but for its sense of being part of the wider plateau landscape. From here you can see across the moor's gentle undulations and understand why walkers return to these high, windswept spaces.
