Little Pepperdon
![]() Nestled near the road skirting the lower side of Pepperdon Down, is this small, solitary tor quite detached from Pepperdon Rocks and Pepperdon Rocks North (on Private Land). ![]() Known for a long time but afforded a name by Max Piper, the tor is easy to access, and possesses a wonderful vantage point looking south to the distinctive Haytor Rocks and west to Assycombe Hill and Fernworthy Forest. ![]() What can be noted from the top of this outcrop are two tiny holes about a metre apart, 4cm wide, 8cm deep and filled with water, drilled but the purpose is unknown. Their appearance is bizarre, and is interesting to observe. ![]()
