Leeden Tor

Leeden Tor is another tor in easy reach of the B3212 Princetown road, it has a fairly flatish summit area with a couple of decent sized gatherings of piled granite. There’s not really much else to say about this tor really apart from the old Plymouth to Princetown railway line passes to the west of Leeden Tor and dropping down to it on that side will lead you to the track bed. Good views from Leeden Tor can be had particularly to Great Mis Tor and Cox Tor. No military activity near to this tor.
