Snowdon is a fairly flat hill on Dartmoor's central moorland, with two cairns at the summit. It's a good spot for long-distance views in all directions. An easy walk can be made from here to Puper’s Hill or Ryder’s Hill, though the latter has boggy ground even in summer. No military areas are nearby.

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.
