TORS OF DARTMOOR
a database of both lesser & well-known rocks and outcrops
Beardown North TorBeardown Tors, Bear Down Tors, Beara Down Tors, Beardon Tors, Beardown Hill, Bairdown Tor, Bare Down Tor ![]() Perhaps the most striking of the group, this tor features an avenue, amid impressive walls of granite. As with its southernmost neighbour, the views of Wistman's Wood are fantastic. Also of note is the view northward, where the visitor can gaze miles into the remote north moor. ![]() The Beardown Tors are a collection of nine outcrops, apparently, but four of them are most prominent. Despite popular OS maps marking these tors collectively as one entity, each outcrop is distinctively separate and for this database, we feel a little leeway is permitted in order to describe them. ![]() One of the most easily recognisable groups of outcrops on the moor, they can be viewed from the B3212 and B3357 roads near Two Bridges. The best way to reach these four is from the car park at Holming (Omen) Beam. ![]()
