This stunning tor, with long views of the River Dart, is also one of the most accessible on Dartmoor, having its own car park just a few metres away. The summit rocks present as an avenue with at least three distinct outcrops that stud the gentle spur of Cumston Tor Hill, on the far north-west flank of Holne Moor. The local pronunciation of the tor, hill and nearby farm is 'Cumston' but many modern visitors, based on the spelling shown on Ordnance Survey (OS) maps as 'Combe', often use the phonetic interpretation of 'Coombestone'.
