Wollake Tor

At Grid Ref: SX 6323 6701, Wollake Tor's short stature means that it does suffer as a spectacle from afar, but it is a nice collection of exposed cracked granite slabs.

It is best viewed close up. Beneath one of the slabs there is low cave that could fit a bivvy if that's your idea of fun.

The tor was first identified by Steve Jenkins.
