Summit of this hill
This summit is listed in Dartmoor Tors, Dartmoor Tors Compendium, Dartmoor scratch map hill lists.
This summit has been climbed in 35 logbooks.Hill features
A spread out series of boulders dot the hillside of Down Tor, conveniently located west of the popular Norsworthy Bridge parking at the far end of Burrator reservoir. Normally combined with a trip to Cuckoo Rock / Combeshead Tor. This is rapidly becoming a very worthwhile venue for the low to mid grade boulderer - of which there isn't that much on the moor.
Approach notes
Park at Norsworthy Bridge at the far end of Burrator reservoir and follow the obvious path eastwards, initially across grassy fields, to climb up to the Tor proper.
