Some of the more durable granite survived to form the rocky crowns of Dartmoor tors.
One of the best known[citation needed] is at Haytor (50°34′49″N 3°45′19″W / 50.5802°N 3.7552°W / 50.5802; -3.7552) on the eastern part of the moor, whose granite is of unusually fine quality and was quarried from the hillside below the tor during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Hills: There are many tors in this area, notably in the Dark Peak where the host rock is Millstone Grit:
[2] There are numerous tors developed in the Cairngorm granite in the Scottish Highlands: Tor Bay, one of the sandy beaches near Oxwich Bay on the Gower Peninsula in south Wales, is so-called because the beach is framed by a huge outcrop of Carboniferous Limestone.
Tors are very commonly found in the Telangana and the Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh
