	High Willhays the Roof of Devon
		The place in question is 'High Willhays' and today it proudly wears its crown as 'king of the hills'.
		One point of fact that he does mention is that High Willhays is not a tor, it only has an outcrop which leads some people to suggest that it is in fact an extension of the nearby Yes tor.
		As previously stated, High Willhays is not a tor but another alternative name affords it promotion into one and that is 'Hampster tor'.

		This area consists of High Willhays and everything on its side of the unavoidably lowest col between it and any higher ground.
		This is the far south-west, very roughly beyond a line joining Bridgwater and Bournemouth, more precisely the Stour and the Parrett/Yeo rivers and the col that establishes High Willhays prominence being at Longburton, south of Sherborne.
		This is a result of the very nature of the gently rolling moors -- flatter than the downlands to the east -- and exaggerated by the high prominence of Willhays itself.

		I've never hiked on Dartmoor before and was pleasantly surprised when it came to the beauty of the locale.

		There were several small outcrops on High Willhays and it wasn't immediately obvious which was the high point.
