Raven Tor

Cairn

Raven Tor, Triple Cairn

A jewel of a site and it is hard to believe that there isn’t more said about it. It is a spectacular site, the rubble mounds clearly defined with elegant kerbstones and with magnificent views all round and a clear line of sight to Minninglow on the horizon. Definitely worth visiting, but beware of the honey bees in the height of summer when the heather is in full bloom as they become very aggressive in protecting their rights to the blossom!
