TORS OF DARTMOOR
a database of both lesser & well-known rocks and outcrops
Bowda Tor
![]() There is a collection of granite outcrops immediately to the north of the impressive rock stack known as Figgie Daniel on Easdon Down. The rocks form a small tor and provide striking views to the north and east from this lofty height. ![]() Reaching the tor can be a challenge, especially during summer months when the bracken has hidden all sheep tracks that lead up from the more well-travelled areas of the Down. ![]() There is a rock basin/depression on the main outcrop of Bowda Tor on the eastern edge which is a rather intriguing feature. The name of 'Bowda' refers to the ruined farmstead situated about half a mile to the north-east amid woodland and on private land unlike this tor. ![]()
