Tors & Landmarks

Standon Hill

Devon

Standon Hill is a quiet granite tor set in the rolling heart of Dartmoor, unmarked by the drama of higher peaks but characteristic of the moor's granite bones. The hill rises from open heathland where the moorland closes in around you, offering a genuine sense of space and solitude.

The approach across the moor is straightforward walking country, with good ground underfoot and the kind of views that define Dartmoor: empty ridges, distant tors, and the gentle undulation of high heath. The rock itself, weathered granite, shows the granite's character clearly. This is a place for quiet wandering rather than destination hiking, part of the moor's everyday fabric.
