Wedlake Tor is a modest, flattened outcrop of metamorphic rock located above Wedlake Farm, north of the farm and well to the east of Colly Brook. It sits in an otherwise rocky-free area of the moor, with the largest outcrop forming a good platform for viewing the surrounding landscape. From here, White Tor is visible to the north, and Roos and Staple Tors fill the vista to the south. The walk to Wedlake Tor is straightforward, starting from the car park above Peter Tavy and following the path past Boulters Tor.

Go deeper with Dartefacts
Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
