    Table of contents

    The Saddle Tor Walk is a great adventure in Dartmoor National Park that offers beautiful views across the moor and is suitable for walkers of nearly every skill level. While out on the trail, you will work your way up the hillside to a prominent rock formation with a commanding sightline of the surrounding area. There is a short amount of uphill walking to reach the viewpoint at the summit, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.

    Route Description for Saddle Tor Walk

    While it may only be a short jaunt across the rugged terrain of the moor, the Saddle Tor Walk is a fantastic experience that will allow you to take in the natural beauty of Dartmoor National Park. Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the west to begin your ascent of the hillside, traversing the rocky terrain until you arrive at the summit viewpoint. Here, you will have sweeping views than fan out in every direction and include the Haytor Rocks to the northeast. After taking in the views, head back down along the same trail to return to the car park.
