A rugged granite outcrop on Dartmoor, Higher Tor offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding moorland and valleys. The tor's unique shape, resembling a giant's fist, is a result of millions of years of weathering and erosion. On a clear day, visitors can see for miles in every direction, taking in the sights of nearby tors, valleys, and even the distant coastline. The area is also rich in wildlife, with birds of prey, deer, and other animals often spotted in the vicinity. With its dramatic scenery and sense of wild freedom, Higher Tor is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Dartmoor.
