As the sun rises over Belstone Tor, its golden rays illuminate the majestic landscape of Dartmoor National Park. In the distance, Yes Tor and High Willhays stand tall, proudly claiming their title as the highest peaks in this enchanting region. On a crisp winter morning, Higher Tor on Belstone Ridge emerges from its slumber under a blanket of frost. The air is still and serene, creating a picture-perfect scene that could easily be mistaken for a winter wonderland. In December 2009, Winter Tor joins Higher Tor in showcasing their icy beauty as they glisten under the morning sunlight. Dartmoor's charm is amplified by these frozen formations that seem to defy nature itself. With each passing day, Higher Tor becomes more vibrant and alive. The first rays of early morning sunlight cast an ethereal glow upon its rugged surface, transforming it into a breathtaking sight that captivates all who behold it. Even during summer months, when July paints Dartmoor with warm hues and lush greenery abounds, granite outcrops at Higher Tor remain steadfast reminders of nature's strength and resilience. As evening approaches, rich sunlight bathes Higher Tor in an enchanting display of colors. The moorland surrounding it seems to come alive with warmth and radiance as if bidding farewell to another beautiful day on this ancient land. Belstone Tor shares this magical aura with its neighboring peak; together they create an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of pink dawn skies. From here one can gaze towards Higher Tor and Winter tor standing gracefully amidst the vast expanse before them. Late evening brings yet another gift from Mother Nature as golden sunlight gently caresses every inch on Belstone Common. This tranquil moment serves as a reminder to cherish these natural wonders that have stood witness to countless generations throughout time. Dartmoor's crown jewel -Higher tor- stands proud no matter what season it may be.
