Bag Tor

Bag Tor has excellent views over Teignmouth and Newton Abbot. Bag Tor is quite a little gem. Although discreet and fairly well hidden - it is a substantial tor and pretty to boot. Easy to get to.
Park near to Saddle Tor at SX 754764. Head SE to Bag Tor. Admire the views and then either divert down into the superb woods of Mill Wood below or else head SW and over the ford and then up to Horridge Common. At the high point change direction and move NW towards Rippon Tor - the stone walls will help here. Excellent views from Rippon Tor but once you are satiated then head NE to the road, Saddle Tor and back to the car park.
This is a pretty easy walk. Great views and some good walking conditions. Not far from the road.

One of the rock piles of saddle Tor. This is a good example of an avenue tor.
Saddle Tor. So called because it has two major piles with a grassy sward in between. From some viewpoints the profile looks just like a saddle. SX 752764
