Laughter Tor is a compact granite outcrop above moorland near Yelverton offering classic Dartmoor compositions: broken boulders, sweeping heather, distant ridgelines and dramatic skies. Easy short walk from the nearby car park (no entry fee); terrain can be wet and uneven — wear boots. Best at golden hour and after changeable weather for cloud drama; winter and low sun give long shadows and texture. Weekday mornings are quieter. No special permits required.
