Fox Tor

Fox Tor is a relatively minor hill on Dartmoor, in the United Kingdom, but is best known for the swampy land that lies beneath it. For Fox Tor Mires are said to have been the inspiration for Grimpen Mire in The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This wide expanse of peat bog continues to be dangerous to walkers, especially after heavy rain. On the flank of Fox Tor stands Childe's Tomb - the subject of a local legend which claims that it is the last resting place of an unfortunate traveller who died there during a blizzard.
