On 20 October 2019, I began running Tors in Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. I moved to Devon earlier in October and was immediately drawn to Dartmoor — the largest national park in southern England — and its miles of open moorland, low swales of grasses and gorse, and valleys of moss-draped oak.
I plan to complete 200 tors by October 20, 2020.
This land, both other-worldly and intimately grounding, is punctuated by more than 300 granite outcrops ranging from more than 600 meters in elevation to boulder piles nestled among lowland copses.
This page is a record of all the tors I’ve visited. Along the way, I have climbed several that are not on standard lists of tors [as with any peak-bagging enterprise, there are lively debates about what constitutes a tor, which ones are publically accessible, and so on], but I am principally using the Cornwall and Devon Long Distance Walkers Association list of tors as a reference, although I have made a few amendments based on Max Piper’s Tor Bagger website and the wonderful book Dartmoor Tors Compendium by Josephine Collingwood.
Tracking data for all Tors below can be found on my Strava account.
