View of Over Owler Tor.... Peak District, UK, April 2016

Higger Tor is a dominant landmark of the Dark Peak, in the north of England's Peak District National Park. It's a gritstone tor overlooking the Burbage Valley and the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast.

 

This view looks west towards Hathersage and the Hope Valley, with Castleton, Mam Tor and the Great Ridge in the far distance.

 

The purple heather seen here in the foreground thrives all over the moors of the Peak District and is in full bloom every August.

Glastonbury Tor is a conical hill in Glastonbury, England, which is topped by a 14th-century church tower. Rich in legend and mythological associations, Glastonbury Tor may have been a place of ancient ritual and it was certainly a place of pilgrimage for Catholics in medieval times. Today, it is a popular destination for visiting tourists, Grail theorists, ley-line enthusiasts, and those who make the climb to enjoy its sweeping view of Somerset countryside.

On the day the clocks went back, so that meant I got an extra hour of hiking.

This is taken from Higgor Tor in the north of the Peak District, UK. It's a relatively easy climb to the top from the road. The views are fabulous in every direction.

Glastonbury Tor is a hill at Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building. The whole site is managed by the National Trust, and has been designated a scheduled monument.

The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset Levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, but the method by which they were formed remains unexplained. Artefacts from human visitation have been found, dating from the Iron Age to Roman eras.

Das Brandenburger Tor in Berlin ist ein frühklassizistisches Triumphtor, das an der Westflanke des quadratischen Pariser Platzes im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte steht. Es wurde als Abschluss der zentralen Prachtstraße der Dorotheenstadt, des Boulevards Unter den Linden, in den Jahren von 1789 bis 1793 auf Anweisung des preußischen Königs Friedrich Wilhelm II. nach Entwürfen von Carl Gotthard Langhans errichtet.

Das Ratinger Tor ist das letzterbaute und einzig noch vorhandene Stadttor der ursprünglichen Stadt Düsseldorf. Bei dem heutigen Bau handelt es sich jedoch nicht um das mittelalterliche Stadttor, sondern um ein Zolltor, das zwischen 1811 und 1815 im klassizistischen Stil errichtet wurde. Die Notwendigkeit eines Neubaus ergab sich aus der im Friedensvertrag von Lunéville festgelegten Schleifung der Festungswerke, der das alte Tor zum Opfer fiel. Das neue Ratinger Tor wurde um rund 115 m nach Osten verschoben, was die Verlängerung der Ratinger Straße um 60 m sowie die Anlage eines Boulevards, der heutigen Heinrich-Heine-Allee, ermöglichte.

On Saturday, we explored a popular part of Dartmoor which we have left out so far - the Bellever forest and Bellever Tor area. We mixed up the existing hiking paths to create our own circular walk and that way came across a range of interesting sights, including more fascinating Bronze Age relics. The photo is from the granite stacks of Bellever Tor. Being the highest point in that area there's fabulous 360 degrees distant views into Dartmoor. A little break in the otherwise darker day provided some nice sunlight on the rocks for my photo.

Another view from our hike to Pew Tor last Saturday. This is one on top of the granite outcrops. The ponies were a lovely plus. The landscape could easily be the set for a Lord of the Rings film!
