Yealm Rocks are a small group of granite stones sitting near the river Yealm just up the hill from the Yealm waterfall. There’s not too much to see here, although there is a good view out along the Yealm valley towards the South Hams. In the opposite direction the hillsides narrow towards the head of the river Yealm which is only a 20 minute walk up stream. The easiest way to this group of rocks is through Dendles Waste, parking at somewhere like Rook. There are no military areas near this tor.
