Roos Tor, Devon

Located in Merrivale, Devon, South West England, England
To the west of Dartmoor National Park, running between Great Links Tor and Great Staple Tor are a number of summits that look a little like a miniature mountain range when seen in profile*. Roos Tor, at 454 metres, is one of these
Close to Merrivale, Roos Tor is just to the north of the Staple Tors and south of White Tor. Across the valley from Great Mis Tor, you'll also see North Hessary Tor and Radio/TV Station and King's Tor
As is the case with all the high tors in this area, there are superb and big views of Dartmoor National Park, the Tamar Valley AONB and Cornwall
The most direct route is from the large, grass car park just off the B3357 by Cox Tor. Head up to Great Staple Tor and then across to Roos Tor. We've also walked it as part of a much larger circuit from the car park near Peter Tavy. You follow the well marked path to White Tor and then head south to Roos Tor and Great Staple Tor before following the path through Higher Godsworthy back to the car park. See the Ordnance Survey OL28 'Dartmoor' map for greater detail
*In our opinion, the best view of this miniature mountain range is from Great Links Tor looking south. If you catch late light when the sun's to the west, the view is glorious
