This tor sits pretty much central in Wray Cleave Wood and although it is north of the similarly named Wray Cleave South and Middle tors it is just given the name of Wray Cleave Wood Tor. There are plenty of paths to get to this one with three converging at this spot on the OS maps. I say paths, what I mean is occasional spots where a path seems to exist with posts now in place to help you. The path from the north side is pretty good and can be followed, the one from the south is sort of there as well, however the one from the west seems to vanish from here in the summer, and if you are using a gps to place you on the path, then it will likely put you further down the hill than you need be and into some horrific territory. As a rule of thumb always follow the posts through this woodland. The terrain below and north of the tor is a mix of brambles, boggy parts, brambles, streams, brambles and rocks with large gaps between them down which you will lose a leg, with brambles covering the holes. This is to be avoided in the same way as you would avoid Broad Marsh. There are no military areas near here.

One of the higher parts of Wray Cleave Wood Tor

One of the more obvious outcrops, about 50 metres below this is the brambles and streams area, keep following the posts and paths through here

Again the higher outcrops

The building above is Lewdowns Cottage or the remains of it, the tor is to my left here. Head to this spot to leave this tor in any direction

The lower outcrops, I’m standing in the start of the brambles and the boggy ground and stream is behind me about 10 metres away. There are more outcrops at this level to the north but don’t head at them from here. Just keep following the posts.
