Southcott Down
Devon
Southcott Down is a small granite tor rising from the open moorland of central Dartmoor. Its low profile belies its position on the high plateau, where it serves as a useful landmark among the rolling granite-strewn terrain. The approach is across typical moorland, with heather, grass and scattered stones underfoot.
From the summit, views extend across the surrounding moorland plateau towards other named high points. The tor is part of the quiet landscape between the busier tourist routes, making it a good spot for walkers seeking the quieter reaches of the moor. The granite bedrock is characteristic of Dartmoor's weathered upland character.
