Tors & Landmarks

Snowdon

Devon

Snowdon is a granite tor of modest height situated on the open moorland of central Dartmoor. Like many of Dartmoor's high points, it offers a sense of exposure and clear sight lines across the surrounding moor, with the characteristic granite bedrock rising from the heather and grass.

The approach is typically across open moorland with no significant scrambling required. The tor's position within the Dartmoor plateau makes it a useful landmark on longer walks and a straightforward destination for those exploring the central moor on foot. Its quiet setting and lack of dramatic features give it the understated character of many smaller Dartmoor peaks.
