Tors & Landmarks

Smith Hill Tor

Devon

Smith Hill Tor is a small granite peak standing at 270 metres above sea level in the heart of Dartmoor. The tor itself is modest in stature, composed of weathered granite outcrops typical of the high moor, and offers a quiet vantage point across the surrounding moorland plateau.

The walk to Smith Hill Tor is undemanding, making it accessible to most visitors. From the surrounding open moor, the views are characteristically expansive, taking in the gentle contours of central Dartmoor and the distant tors that punctuate the landscape. The terrain underfoot is typical moorland, with heather, grass and granite underfoot.
