Collard Tor
![]() On the edge of the disused Wotterwaste China Clay Works, this large area of granite outcrops and clitter creeps down the hill to the village of Wotter. There is a path across the top, but it is an enjoyable scramble from the bottom. ![]() Hemery says of this pile; "The southernmost tor, consisting of two rock-piles, is Collard Tor (approx. 825 feet), which is well worth visiting as the frontier-post of an oasis in an industrial desert. It is obvious from the rocky summit and the great clitter below that this was once a striking pile." ![]() The WH/B boundary stone is near the summit of the tor as a possible Wotter House Bounds as proposed by Milestone Society member Mark Fenlon. ![]()
