Brentor
Brentor is one of the most impressive rock outcrops on the western edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon.
With St Michael’s Church at its top this conical hill is a landmark throughout western Dartmoor.
The view from the top is, as you would expect from the highest church in England, magnificent!
A car park nearby provides easy access, but it is a steep, but relatively short climb to the summit, with spectacular views from start to finish.
On a clear day you can see Bodmin Moor and Plymouth Sound.
There is plenty to see on the way up, including the remains of an Iron Age earth-walled enclosure on the slopes of the tor.
Walking
Combine a visit to Brentor with a walk through Lydford Gorge.
We visited Lydford Gorge in the late afternoon and then we headed for Brentor just before sunset.
It was a perfect ending of a perfect day!
