Saddle Tor Walk Description
While it may only be a short jaunt across the rugged terrain of the moor, the Saddle Tor Walk is a fantastic experience that will allow you to take in the natural beauty of Dartmoor National Park. Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the west to begin your ascent of the hillside, traversing the rocky terrain until you arrive at the summit viewpoint. Here, you will have sweeping views than fan out in every direction and include the Haytor Rocks to the northeast. After taking in the views, head back down along the same trail to return to the car park.
