Even though it isn’t too far from Dartmoor, the tors of Bodmin Moor don’t seem to get the same amount of press that the tors in Devon receive. This for me is a bit of a mistake, whilst they may not have the height of Dartmoor, the highest point being Brown Willy at only 420 metres, some of the tors are far more spectacular than those in Devon. Kilmar Tor is a particular example of a huge granite outcrop running for hundreds of metres east to west, with some huge granite boulders included in the stacks. The only downside is that Bodmin Moor isn’t open access land, and because of this results in fences being run across the land making walking from tor to tor difficult. There are around 40 tors on Bodmin Moor listed below, sitting within its 80 sq miles, plus some hills which have rocky outcrops, just like Dartmoor the actual tor number is up for debate!!
