Belstone Tor sits on the northern rim of Dartmoor near Belstone village, offering exposed granite tor climbing and bouldering along a dramatic ridge line. The rock character features weather-beaten, high-friction granite with crisp edges, slopers, and horizontal crack systems. Facing multiple directions along the crest, aspect varies, and open hilltop exposure means wind dries the rock very rapidly after rain. Route selection includes short traditional routes and bouldering problems from VDiff up to lower E-grades, highlighted by Belstone Arete. The approach takes twenty-five minutes up gentle moorland tracks from the Belstone village car park. High exposure to cold northern winds is the main weather factor.
