Middle Tor is another of those tors over-shadowed by its surroundings and neighbouring tors. Kes Tor and Scorhill Stone Circle are nearby with plenty of stone rows and cairns to attract the eye away. It is however only a short stroll from Kes Tor and worth the visit to get away from the crowds. Like Kes Tor, Batworthy is the best place to park for this tor, although you can also start from Fernworthy Reservoir. This tor is not in a firing range.
