About: There are a great many tors on Dartmoor and these help to give the moor its characteristic features. Tors come in many different shapes and sizes but most consist of striated granite. Some of the tors are called avenue tors where two or more piles of granite are separated by a lawn of turf. Yet other tors are dome shaped with comparatively little erosion then again some have debris fields known as clitter that litter the hillsides below.
