When standing here, Dinger Tor looks to be a small tor in the middle of a large bowl. For starters there isn’t much in the way of stacked granite, the views are average, however at 550metres it stands high on the list of Dartmoor Tors. It is surrounded however by higher ground with High Willhays one side, Hangingstone Hill another and Great Links Tor to the west. It also has a boggy approach from most directions except the wide military path that comes from the north east which is the best way to this one, providing an easy path to a remote tor. It lies deep into the Okehampton firing range so no access on firing days.
Height – 550metres OS Grid Reference – SX586881 Mark out of 10 – 6

Thanks. Interesting. My friend is trying to persuade me to include hiking from Dinger Tor to Fur Tor but I am not convinced as I hear its rather boggy. Its nice to read notes and see the pictures as its helping me to get a first idea of the area. Thanks….

Hi Stephen, probably worth looking at this walk and any others that head out towards Cranmere and then Black Hill as that’s the best route to Fur Tor after Dinger Tor . Good luck with your walk. https://treksandtors.co/2019/02/27/sunshine-at-cranmere-pool-and-great-kneeset/
