Yar Tor is high up above Dartmeet in the Dartmoor National Park. It is easily accessible from the road that leads to Sherwell and Babeny stables.
The views from this tor are wonderful and well worth the short climb from the small parking area.
Dartmeet, down the very steep hill, is a popular place for tourists where the West Dart and East Dart rivers meet. This is a lovely place for a break where there is somewhere to eat, drink or just buy an ice-cream. It does get very busy in the holiday season, but visit in the winter and you can sometimes have the place to yourself.
This is on Sheeps Tor - looking towards Leather Tor and Sharpitor just before sundown in late August. Here, someone is just sitting and taking in the view, enjoying the warmth of the evening sun.
This is a tor which can be climbed quite easily if you are reasonably fit, and is well the effort as the views up there are spectacular all around. The Burrator Reservoir is just below the tor, and looking lovely from up here.
One corner of the tor has a steep section which is popular with climbers. Why the tor has this name is unknown, though you will often find sheep as well as Dartmoor ponies grazing amongst its rocks.
Corndon Tor is on Corndon Down in the Dartmoor National Park. It is up the steep hill from Dartmeet and near Yar Tor and Sharp Tor - and from up here are spectacular views across the moorland and farmland.

It was a balmy evening at the end of August and the sun was sinking in the sky. Below the tor, the water of the Burrator Reservoir shimmered in the sunlight - and beyond, a summer haze began to settle over the Dartmoor landscape.
It was a good time to be in this place and watch the sun go down. A fine reward for the effort of climbing up here.
