Every named tor on Dartmoor, mapped.

FEATURES • A map of every named tor on Dartmoor, all in one place • Suggested walks (3–10km) for the most popular tors Take a photo at every tor you reach and keep them alongside your tick-list, so you have a picture of every summit you've climbed. • Tick off tors as you complete them • Your progress syncs across your devices via iCloud • A list view showing your overall progress Tor locations are drawn from Ordnance Survey reference data. Suggested walk descriptions are a starting point for planning, not a substitute for an OS map, a compass and your own judgement — Dartmoor has bog, fast-changing weather, and live military firing ranges in places. Always check conditions and access before you set out. Dartmoor Tor Tracker is available as an annual subscription.
