Nutcrackers GR SX 770814
Although not called a tor this huge granite rock should be!
One of the best viewpoints on the east moor, over looking Lustleigh Cleave. The River Bovey far below cuts through woodland on it’s journey to the Sea.
Tors visible from this point are Hay Tor and Hound Tor. As you walk the ridge to Hunter’s Tor look out for Bowerman’s Nose. The walk up from Lustleigh takes you through woodland scattered with giant boulders of granite, marvel at the power of erosion which moved them. A cave can be seen on the left of the path and with a little imagination you can see prehistoric man living here. Circular walk about 3 hours.
