Cox Tor

Is it your level?Paragliding

Good, but beware large boulders. Local Flying Tor is not very steep, so dynamic lift is limited. XC Flying Excellent potential. But read the Safety Warnings if crossing Dartmoor. The west face is best for XC, allowing the road across the moor to be followed to Two Bridges, Dartmeet, Ashburton and beyond. XC from the north face quickly meets the sea. The northwest corner is rocky and difficult. The south face is quite shallow, making soaring difficult, but good for training.

Getting there

Leave Tavistock road on the B3357 toward Princetown. For the west and north faces, as the road leaves the fields on the steep part of the hill, turn left and pass a barn which is just visible from the main road. Follow the road for about 400 metres to the Westerly site, or a mile for the northerly site. The Southerly site is used for training, parking at the top of the hill on the main road, in the car park on the right. Parking Do not park more than 15 metres from the road or track.
