Avenue Tor isn’t the name of a secret tor on Dartmoor that you’ve never heard of! It’s actually a type of tor. Usually a granite tor is a single stack (or a close together group of stacks) whereas an avenue tor is just what it says … it has an avenue running through the middle of the stacks. Pil Tor is a good example of an avenue tor. You can see on the map that there’s even a path running through it. Erosion has caused this land feature as the centre avenue has had the granite worn away
Avenue tors are a good navigation feature as they are easier to identify on the map than the more usual type of tors.

What is the history relating to Foale’s Arrishes. I suppose I could Google, but it could be a blogger’s gift for you?
Hi Conrad. B1’s having problems with our website at the moment but she wanted me to pass this link on to you… https://www.twoblondeswalking.com/foales-arrishes-and-the-newhouse-inn/
