Challenge 8: Stand on a tor at dawn

Points available: 2

About the challenge

Have you ever watched the dawn break over Dartmoor? It can be exhilarating to watch a new day begin over the tors of Dartmoor. Follow in the footsteps of our ancestors and choose somewhere with a great view so you can look across the wild landscape. Use this moment to make a personal promise to do something special for nature.

Helpful tips

Check the weather forecast, what time sunrise is, and choose a clear day. Remember it starts getting light an hour before sunrise so you need to be in your chosen spot by then.

More information

Dartmoor has amazing stone circles and stone rows. Our Bronze Age ancestors made these monuments thousands of years ago perhaps to help them connect with the sun in ancient ceremonies lost to time.
