A few steep hills to pedal up/walk up and into the small unkept car park you be alright in a small van but it is a bit rough with potholes and even some of the cars were grounding out.
Anyway, it was well worth the effort getting there the walk up to the top was an easy hike although, after all the rain and snow we have had it was quite wet and boggy the views across the moors were great and the rock formation and the rock stacks were amazing.
when coming back down to the carpark by the stream if you look over to the left there is a monument to a girl that was murdered at the spot where it stands this happened on April 14th, 1844 the story goes that she was friends with two boys and the one that they hung for the crime might of been the innocent one.
Below are a few photos of the top of Rough Tor, along with a photo of the monument and a copy of the inscription on the monument.
"This monument is erected by Public subscription in Memory of Charlotte Dymond who was Murdered hereby Matthew Weekes on Sunday, April 14, 1844."
