**Great Mis Tor** is a hill with a [rocky outcrop](/source/Tor_(rock_formation)) situated in [Dartmoor](/source/Dartmoor). It has been called one of the grandest hills in Devon,[1] and lies above the [River Walkham](/source/River_Walkham), about 4 miles north-east of [Princetown](/source/Princetown).

There is a notable [rock basin](/source/Rock-cut_basin) on the peak, called the *Mis Tor Pan* or *The Devil's Frying Pan*.[2]

The hill and surrounding area is on land owned by the [Duchy of Cornwall](/source/Duchy_of_Cornwall), which is leased to the army. There have been cases of deaths and injury to the public caused by unexploded munitions in the area.[3]
