TORS OF DARTMOOR

Curtery ClittersCurtory Clitters ![]() A couple of hundred metres south-west of the area marked on the OS map, this is a large clitter field, with no tor, in a crescent shape. The clitter is west of Black-a-ven Brook and, just below the military road to Dinger Tor, is best seen from below. ![]() William Crossing first mentions the clitter in his 'Guide to Dartmoor', but calls it 'Curtory Clitters'. Inexplicably, Ordnance Survey Maps mark these rocks as a water feature nearer New Bridge, over the Black-a-ven Brook, and a bit too far north of their actual location. ![]() ![]()
