Highlights
- Dartmoor is home to fantastic Tors, and although not as high as some of the peaks in the North of the Country, it does offer a fantastic training ground with some incredible views from high up.
- Although High Willhays is the highest Tor on Dartmoor, its neighbour Yes Tor seems to be much more impressive a Tor, but on a clear day the views from both are stunning.

"A little trek to bag a few tors…. The weather was high winds and heavy rain, with occasional 0 visibility due to low cloud base (hence very few photos)…. But, we still managed to get to Row Tor, West Mill Tor, Yes Tor, High Willhays and Dinger Tor….." — chriscollings-UK • Aug 12, 2023
"Sheeptor and sharpitor. Parked at burrator reservoir and went up sheeptor. Treacherous rock scramble in places. Views from the top were great over the reservoir. Bagged sharpitor on the way home." — hannah337 • Oct 14, 2022

"Starting the day in tshirt and shorts heading up to Rowtor and then leaving Rowtor in full waterproofs was not the original plan but onwards across the target railway and up over West Mill Tor before following the track up to the high points of Yes Tor and High Willhays. No visibility at all whilst at Yes Tor but at High Willhays the sky parted and sun and far reaching views were uncovered. Couple more nearby bagged before heading down to Dinger Tor and following the military road back to Rowtor Car Park. 13.4km. Rain/Mist. Solo. " — MuchMoorWalking • Jul 30, 2022
