HIKING to the ROOF of DARTMOOR

If you have ever wondered - What is the highest tor on Dartmoor? Is High Willhays easy to climb? What’s the difference between High Willhays and Yes Tor? Which Dartmoor hikes give the best views? Well…you’ll find answers right here in this video, along with my own experiences, tips, and even a collection of viewer photos sent in from hikers across the country. I’ve walked Dartmoor many times from my own front door, and these tors are always on the horizon calling to me. They aren’t the most difficult climbs in Britain, but getting up here is about more than just elevation—it’s about the sense of space, freedom, and wild beauty that makes Dartmoor so special. From Rowtor and West Mill Tor, across to Fordsland Ledge, Dinger Tor, and deep into the moor at Lints Tor, this route takes in some of the most rugged and atmospheric scenery you’ll find anywhere in the southwest. For me, hiking isn’t just about reaching the summit—it’s about the journey, the moments of silence on the moor, spotting wildlife (sometimes even snakes!), and soaking up the history hidden in cairns and old range huts. Dartmoor has a way of making you feel small and alive all at once. Whether you’re planning your own hike up to High Willhays and Yes Tor, looking for the best Dartmoor walking routes, or simply love watching outdoor adventures from home, I hope this inspires you to lace up your boots and explore. 👉 Have you hiked Dartmoor’s highest tors yourself? Did you start from Okehampton, Meldon Reservoir, or another route? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear your experiences.
