TORS OF DARTMOOR
a database of both lesser- & well-known rocks and outcrops
Tottiford Copse Tor
 There are two huge vegetation covered outcrops of rock, one a giant overhang on the northern slope of Tottiford Copse which is a small private wooded area between Beadon Lane and Tottiford House.  More large rocks extend through the trees to the east. Before improvements were made with the construction of the reservoir in 1860 the brook that flows through here was the original source of water for Torquay.  A recent visit to the area in December 2019 revealed that the tor had been cleared of vegetation; it is much easier to view from the little known woodland path weaving its way through the trees and miry landscape and when clambering up the hillside you will notice a fine avenue between the two main outcrops.
