Welcome to Chub Tor

Chub Tor is a small hill located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated near the village of Chudleigh Knighton and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The hill offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey and deer.

The hill is also steeped in history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Bronze Age. There are several ancient burial mounds and stone circles located on the hill, which are believed to have been used for religious and ceremonial purposes. In more recent times, Chub Tor was used as a lookout point during World War II, and there are still remnants of the observation post that was built on the summit.

Today, Chub Tor is a peaceful and tranquil spot, perfect for a leisurely walk or a picnic with friends and family. The hill is easily accessible and there are several footpaths that lead to the summit. Visitors can enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside, take in the fresh air and wildlife, and immerse themselves in the rich history of this fascinating area.

Local Dog Walks

River Avon Dam Dartmoor
This Is A Lovely Dog Walk From The Carpark At Shipley Bridge On Dartmoor To Avon Dam. The First Part Follows Alongside The River Which My Dogs Love To Have A Dip In. Then The Walk Opens Out To Hills As You Work Your Way Up To The Dam. The Walk Is Pathed The Whole Way So Is Suitable For Pushchairs And Wheelchairs. I Think Its Roughly 1 Mile – 1.5 Miles Up To The Dam. Unnamed Road Lancashire 4.09 miles
