Hiking

King's Tor is a 1,476 feet (450 m) granite peak in Dartmoor National Park, high above the Walkham Valley. From here on a clear day you can see Cox Tor, Great Mis Tor and the Staple Tors. It's also surrounded by evidence of industrial action, with no less than four quarries surrounding this Tor.

Simply top!
