| The summit of Rough Tor is the second highest hill in Cornwall, there is a memorial plaque at the top which reads, 'Rough Tor on which this memorial is places has been given to the nation in memory of those who lost their lives while serving in the 45th (Wessex) Division in the North-West European Campaign 1944, 45'. | ||

 |
| A short circular walk to the summit and back from the car park that sits at the bottom of the tor is around 3 miles in length and although not particularly steep it is a steady climb uphill and it is uneven walking underfoot in parts. | ||

 |
| The climb is well worth the effort when the great views are revealed from this dramatic granite tor across the surrounding moors as well as views towards the remains of a old china clay pit, (right photo). The china clay deposits in Cornwall, the largest in the world have been worked since being discovered at Tregonning Hill in 1746 by William Cookworthy. | ||
