Hound Tor is thought to be the inspiration of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novel 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. The granite outcrop is said to look like dogs peaking over the top of the rocks, hence its name.
On the south east side, there is the site of a deserted medieval village which was abandoned in the late 14th/early15th century.
