At 584 metres high, it is the sixth highest peak in Devon and Dartmoor.

[1] This bleak and remote hill lies within the military training area on Dartmoor and is not accessible to the public except at certain times.

On the steep eastern hillside are further prominent rocky outcrops, including a logan rock.

To the west are the remains of Bleak House and other ruins.

Great Links Tor (586m) lies around 1.5 km to the west-southwest and Dartmoor's highest peak, High Willhays (621m), lies about 2 km northeast.
