Haytor, probably one of the most visited rock tors on Dartmoor, they are close to the road and can be climbed to the top for good views. So popular that the paths around the tor have been very eroded.
Carpark is popular in summer, you can always get an ice cream !
Around the rear of the tor you can still see signs of an old railway used to haul quarried stone, no trains though these railways used horses, which is where the Dartmoor ponies came from.
The quarry can still be seen if you walk past the tor away from the road, good views down to Widecombe. Also walk to Hound Tor, with signs of an old settlement nearby.
