Yes Tor, Mountain summit in Dartmoor National Park, England.
Yes Tor is a summit on Dartmoor in Devon that rises about 600 meters above sea level with a rocky peak. The hill sits within open moorland and offers wide views across the surrounding landscape.
The peak became part of a British Army firing range in the 20th century, which continues to restrict visitor access today. This military use has shaped how the summit can be visited and when it remains open to the public.
The English rock band Yes referenced this geographic formation in their 1978 album Tormato, featuring the mountain on the inner sleeve artwork.
Check military training schedules before heading out to ensure the area is open for visitors. Parking is available near Meldon Reservoir, from where the walk to the summit begins.
This peak stands as one of only two summits south of Peak District National Park reaching over 2,000 feet in elevation.
