Pew Tor is a peak in Dartmoor National Park. The tor rises above the lowlands of Whitchurch and Plaster Downs above Tavistock.

The tor has plenty of large boulders to climb around on to try and get the best views of the surrounding countryside, and is quite close to roads and parking, so makes a perfect scramble for those not wishing to walk too far.

Feather Tor

Highlight • Natural Monument

Feather Tor is a small tor on Whitchurch Common, not too far from the B3357 road at Pork Hill. To the east lies Vixen Tor, and to the south is Pew Tor. The best known feature in the area has to be Windy Post Cross, a cross thought to have been placed here in the 16th century, beside the Grimstone and Sortridge Leat.

Windy Post Granite Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

Here the hiker passes an ancient wayside cross made of granite. This small, sacred monument does not impress with a special or even striking design. Rather, it is the symbol of faith that has aged in simple dignity - and at the same time a sign along the way - that still leaves a deep impression in the middle of this lonely landscape. It can be assumed that the builders at the time did not just want to set up a profane wayside sign, but also asked for God's protection and blessing with this cross.

Highlight • Viewpoint

On a good day, you can see all the way to Plymouth and the Tamar bridge - but on the moor, the weather often has other ideas!
