Tors & Landmarks

Western White Barrow

Devon

Western White Barrow stands at 486 metres on the western reaches of Dartmoor, a low granite outcrop that marks the landscape without dominating it. The tor sits in open moorland where the granite bedrock surfaces frequently, and the views stretch across bog, heather and distant ridges to the moor's edge.

The approach is typical high moorland walking: pathless or lightly marked, with the tor visible from some distance. The ground underfoot is mixed grass and stone, and the walk rewards those who move slowly and read the terrain. From the summit, the broader sweep of western Dartmoor unfolds, a working landscape that has been shaped by centuries of use.
