Yes Tor

Rising above the granite heart of northern Dartmoor, this prominent tor offers a rugged, boulder-strewn ascent. As a Nuttall, it provides a sense of scale often missing from the southern moors. The summit, marked by a trig pillar and rocky outcrop, feels exposed, wild, and quintessentially Devonshire.

• •The name is likely a corruption of the Old English 'east', meaning East Tor, a reference to its location on the eastern side of the West Okement valley.
• •For many years, it was celebrated as the highest point on Dartmoor until modern surveying revealed that High Willhays, located less than a kilometre to the south, beats it by a mere two metres.
• •The hill is located within the Ministry of Defence’s Okehampton firing range; access is strictly controlled, and hikers must check firing times to ensure the red flags aren't flying before attempting the climb.
• •Clear days offer a sweeping panorama that stretches north over the Devon heartlands to the heights of Exmoor, while the jagged silhouette of Great Mis Tor dominates the view to the south.
• •The summit features a weathered stone shelter and evidence of its use as an artillery observation post, reflecting the military training that has shaped this landscape since 1875.
• •It is the rare kind of peak where the most important piece of equipment isn't your compass or your boots, but the firing notice updated by the Ministry of Defence.
