Watern Tor

Grid ref: SX 6289 8685

Watern Tor sits on the eastern side of the northern moor above Gidleigh Common. It's known for its uniquely eroded granite formations, with the Thirlstone at the northern end offering a distinctive gap with fine views. The tor's weathered piles and close-packed jointings set it apart, and it's best approached via a path from Scorhill through Gallaven Mire and over Walla Brook.
