**Garrow Tor** is a bare, [tor](/source/Tor_(rock))-crowned hill, 330 metres (1,080 ft) high, located on Garrow Downs in the northwest of [Bodmin Moor](/source/Bodmin_Moor) in the county of [Cornwall](/source/Cornwall), [England](/source/England), UK.[1]

At the summit of Garrow Tor are [granite](/source/Granite) [rock outcrops](/source/Rock_outcrop) and the hill also bears extensive evidence of early settlement, including a massive stone hedge, [Bronze Age](/source/Bronze_Age) settlements and [hut circles](/source/Hut_circle) and [Medieval](/source/Medieval) settlements. Panoramic views from the summit include [Caradon Hill](/source/Caradon_Hill) to the south, [Rough Tor](/source/Rough_Tor) and [Brown Willy](/source/Brown_Willy) to the north, [Butter's Tor](/source/Butter's_Tor) to the east, clay country to the west and the [Atlantic Ocean](/source/Atlantic_Ocean) to the northwest.[2][1]

The [De Lank River](/source/De_Lank_River) runs past the eastern flank of the tor from north to south, before swinging southwest around the southern foot of the hill. [King Arthur's Hall](/source/King_Arthur's_Hall) lies a kilometre to the southwest.[1]

When visiting the hill, a useful place to park is by the waterworks to the southwest.[2]
