This summit is listed in Dartmoor Tors, Trail 100, Dartmoor Tors Compendium, Dartmoor scratch map hill lists.
This summit has been climbed in 96 logbooks.Hound Tor is a popular place for many reasons.
First made famous after Sherlock Holmes' encounter with a grim and fearfull beast that can still be seen on nights with a full moon. In recent times its popularity stems from its sheep trimmed lawns which are a pinicing paradise (great place for the family while you climb), the large car park and the views from the summit, all of which bring holidaymakers from far and wide.
A huge number of scrambles and easier problems are possible, however to avoid uncessarily clutter, not all of them need to be written up, please use discretion.
