Greator Rocks SX747786
Top tor for... scrambly fun and a view-filled breather after knocking off the nearby monster of Hound Tor.
Bone Hill Rocks SX731774
Top tor for... class bouldering, widely considered some of the best in Britain. Easily accessed from Hound Tor or Haytor Rocks. Plenty of nearby scrambling to make a day of it.
High Willhays SX580892
Top tor for... iconic summit snapshots.
Worth a visit on any tick-list due to its high point status. Nice and pointy, too.
Fur Tor SX589830
Top tor for... being one of Dartmoor’s most inaccessible tors. It’s a bit of a trek, but one hell of a mission!
Tavy Cleave Tor SX554832
Top tor for... outstanding views that really make you feel like you’re in
the hills. Easily accessed, too.
Great Mis Tor SX563770
Top Tor for... being a massive chunk of rock with some quality edging.
Hound Tor SX739792
Cracking sprawl of climb and scramble-heavy blocks where you can while away an afternoon.
