Panorama of some of Dartmoor's tors in the snow
Dartmoor represents one of the largest areas of exposed granite in the United Kingdom, covering an area of 368 square miles (950 km 2 [1] Isles of Scilly .
Some of the more durable granite survived to form the rocky crowns of Dartmoor tors. One of the best known[citation needed is at Haytor (50°34′49 ″N 3°45′19 ″W / 50.5802°N 3.7552°W / 50.5802; -3.7552 British Museum in London, and to build London Bridge . The last granite to be quarried there was used to build Exeter War Memorial in 1919.
Ten Tors is an annual weekend hike on Dartmoor.
