About Rough Tor

The second-highest point in Cornwall, Rough Tor rises from the open moor to a summit strewn with granite tors that have been shaped by weather into fantastic forms. The landscape around it — Bronze Age settlements, ancient field systems, a medieval longhouse — is one of the richest prehistoric landscapes in England, all visible at once from the trig point at the top.
