Hiking
Tor Rocks is a hidden gem tucked away on Harford Moor. Located a few hundred meters southwest of Harford Moor Gate. It's only when you venture down into the Butter Brook valley that this intriguing granite formation reveals itself.
Sitting above the south bank of Butter Brook, Tor Rocks is a peaceful and picturesque spot that's ideal for exploring. The tor has a bit of history, too—it was partially quarried around 1856, leaving a noticeable excavation in the hillside. It features some interesting rock formations, including one that resembles a parrot's head from certain angles.
