Frenchbeer Rock, Chagford, Dartmoor National Park

Frenchbeer Rock is a small granite outcrop on the edge of the moors in the northern section of Chagford Common. There are various hut circles near Frenchbeer Rock and it provides great views of Fernworthy Forest and the Chagford area with Easdon Tor beyond. It's one of three rocky outcrops running in a line down the edge of the moor. In addition, beyond a newtake, or farm, wall are Thornworthy Down and Thornworthy Tor. The Two Moors Way and Mariners' Way run nearby.

To visit, we'd recommend walking in from Batworthy Corner. Head up to Kestor Rock. You'll see Middle Tor and then the smaller Frenchbeer Rock beyond. There's a wide, grass track connecting the three outcrops. We've also walked in from Fernworthy Forest and via the Two Moors Way and Mariners' Way. The latter are longer approaches.
