Smallacombe Rocks occupy a large area between Black Hill and Holwell Tor, with granite outcrops and boulders descending to Becka Brook. A mysterious 'HOOT' is carved into one of the rocks, though it may also read 'DOOM'. The tor is often confused with Grea Tor, but it stands apart with its own distinct character and views across the valley.

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.
