Dartmoor weather for the tors and the high moor
17 peaks with full guides
Dartmoor is the highest ground in southern England. High Willhays (621m) and Yes Tor (619m) top the northern moor, where much of the land is in the Okehampton, Merrivale and Willsworthy military ranges: check the firing times before you go, and keep away when the red flags fly. Mist comes in fast over open moor with few paths, so carry a map and compass. Each tor below has its own forecast.
