Fur Tor

Fur Tor is one of the most remote places in North Dartmoor. It is perhaps the grandest of Dartmoor tors as it looks down from its height onto the Amicombe stream and the moor beyond. The views over North Dartmoor are absolutely fantastic. Nowhere else in Dartmoor do you get such an impressive feel of majesty and isolation. Fur Tor (or Vwr - the great tor, or Feor - the far distant tor) is not an easy place to get to. It is placed in the centremost part of the northern moor and is largely surrounded by difficult terrain, especially the peat hags around South Tavy head.
