Sourton Tors

Devon

Sourton Tors sits on the northern reaches of Dartmoor, a weathered granite peak that commands the surrounding moorland without drama. At 441 metres, it offers views across open bog and heather toward Okehampton and the moor's interior, a quiet vantage point rather than a showy one.

The walk here crosses typical high moorland, boggy in places and open to the weather. The granite itself is worn and rounded, shaped by thousands of years of exposure. This is walking country for those who value solitude and the slow unfolding of the landscape more than a defined summit or steep scramble.
