“ I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming War Horse on Dartmoor.” Steven Spielberg.
Standing proudly on the south eastern edge of the moor, Haytor (often referred to as Haytor Rocks) offers spectacular views across Dartmoor and the south Devon coast.
You can get off the beaten track and explore Haytor Quarry, seeing the unique granite tramway that transported granite from the high moor to the port at Teignmouth by following the Templer Way walk.
For those wanting to learn more about the moor’s fascinating past and its incredible variety of wildlife, there is a Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre nearby, with a convenient car park for visiting the tor itself.
