Black Hill is a summit at the end of the Haytor ridge. It has a big cairn and great views across the moor and down to the sea at Teignmouth.
There is lovely running on the moors around here. The springy grass trails cross the heather moorland, with peaty boggy areas to jump. The steep hill dropping off to the north is a good test of grip.
