Dartmoor is known for its [[Tor (rock formation)|tor]]s – hills topped with outcrops of bedrock, which in [[granite]] country such as this are usually rounded boulder-like formations. More than 160 of the hills of Dartmoor have the word ''tor'' in their name but quite a number do not.<ref name="DF"/> However, this does not appear to relate to whether or not there is an outcrop of rock on their summit. The tors are the focus of an annual event known as the [[Ten Tors Challenge]], when around 2,400 people aged between 14 and 19 walk for distances of 56, 72 or 88&nbsp;km (35, 45 or 55&nbsp;mi) between ten tors on many differing routes.

The highest points on Dartmoor are on the northern moor: [[High Willhays]], {{convert|621|m|ft|abbr=on}}, ({{gbmapping|SX 580892}}) and [[Yes Tor]], {{convert|619|m|ft|abbr=on}}, ({{gbmapping|SX 581901}}). The highest points on the southern moor are [[Ryder's Hill]], {{convert|515|m|ft|abbr=on}}, ({{gbmapping|SX 660690}}), Snowdon {{convert|495|m|ft|abbr=on}}, ({{gbmapping|SX 668684}}), and an unnamed point, {{convert|493|m|ft|abbr=on}} at ({{gbmapping|SX 603645}}), between Langcombe Hill and Shell Top. The best-known tor on Dartmoor is [[Haytor]]<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bradt|first1=Hilary|last2=Booth|first2=Janice|title=South Devon & Dartmoor|date=2014|publisher=Bradt|location=Chalfont St Peter|isbn=9781841625522|page=222}}</ref> (called Hey Tor by William Crossing), {{convert|457|m|ft|abbr=on}}, ({{gbmapping|SX 757771}}).
