Dartmoor Tors

At least Sheepstor, one of the most popular with Plymouth’s residents, and Pew Tor, the top of which is easiest for car passengers, are omitted from those photographed on the list in the following website: http://www.richkni.co.uk/dartmoor/tors.htm

Even so it gives a great impression of what it’s all about!

Whereas Dartmoor derives its name from the river Dart, one of the most scenic of its rivers, this is by no means the only one which provides some scenic splendour. Starting at hte southwest edge of the moor the Tavy is a tributary of the Tamar which forms the county boundary with Cornwall and itself has the Walkham as a tributary. Double Waters, where the Walkham flows into the Tavy is a particularly beautiful spot. Then there is the Plym, joined by the Meavy at Shaugh Bridge, once the site of a railway halt. more..
