At the summit, you'll find a small cairn topped with a stone, a true testament to the countless hikers who’ve left their mark on this rugged beauty.
Granite outcrops dominate the area, with interesting tors created by countless years of erosion. The rocks here tell a tale of volcanic activity from millions of years ago.
On a clear day, enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding Dartmoor landscape, including other tors, the Devon countryside and, if you squint hard enough, perhaps even as far as the coast.
The name 'Mis' is derived from the Old English 'myse' meaning ‘mist’, fitting for Dartmoor’s often foggy conditions.
Great Mis Tor is a popular spot for climbers and hikers alike, with a rich history tied to the local folklore and legends of Dartmoor.
A scenic route from the charming village of Princetown, winding through moorlands and up towards the summit, with plenty of opportunities for birdwatching.
Princetown offers ample parking, with options for both free and pay and display – grab a scone from a local café afterwards!
Dartmoor’s bus service connects to the nearest towns, with regular services to Princetown, albeit a bit sparse on weekends.
Facilities are located in Princetown, including pubs, cafes, and public toilets. A delightful spot for post-hike refreshment!
