Black Hill, Devon

Located in Haytor Vale, Devon, South West England, England
412 metres above sea level, Black Hill provides exquisite views across the eastern section of Dartmoor National Park and east to the Devon coast and the The English Riviera
Haytor Rocks, Hound Tor (East Dartmoor), Hayne Down, Bowerman's Nose and Lustleigh Cleave are all nearby
To walk to the top of Black Hill, we'd recommend starting at the car park on Trendlebere Down in the East Dartmoor Woods and Heaths National Nature Reserve. This is the road that runs between the 'gateway town' Bovey Tracey and the moorland village Manaton. A grass track takes you south west to the summit. You'll cross a road so take care at this point
It's also very easy to wander across to Black Hill from the Haytor Rocks area. Start at the car park by Haytor National Park Visitor Centre and head up to Haytor Rocks before trending north across Haytor Down to Black Hill
We'd recommend a walk here in Autumn. There's a lot of bracken which turns a rust red and the Autumnal colours in Houndtor Wood and Lustleigh Cleave are stunning
Becky Falls Woodland Park is a popular family attraction
