Mel TorMel Tor is a very popular Dartmoor tourist place. Partly this is because it is near Dartmeet and so easy to get to - but also because the views over the steep valley of the Dart are quite excellent. There is no moorland as such but plenty of rock, animals, greenery and water. Ideal for a family walk in the summer.Park at Bel Tor corner (SX 695731) and take the track that leads to Mel Tor and the steep Dart gorge behind. Follow the track along until you come back to the main road. Cross it and head for Leigh Tor. After a short break walk on down the path towards Spitchwick. On a sunny day you'll hear the buzz of children to guide you.This area is nowhere near any military area and is always quite near roads. Not much danger of getting lost in mists or encountering bogs. However, some of the walk involves quite steep walking along public roads. About 5 miles.
