Top Tor, Widecombe in the Moor, Dartmoor National Park
Top Tor is a scatter of rocky outcrops, as the name suggests, at the top of Blackslade Down. 432m above sea level, it offers fine views of Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Haytor Rocks. As is the case with many tors in the eastern section of Dartmoor National Park, Top Tor is easily accessible so you get some extraordinary views for relatively little effort.
We've positioned Top Tor on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.
To visit for the first time, head for the car parking area at Hemsworthy Gate. Several grass tracks rise to the outcrops. There are a couple of car parking areas to the north of Top Tor and you can also walk up from those. Consult the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map for detail.
