Higger Tor is a dominant landmark in the the northern part of the English Peak District National Park known as the Dark Peak. It is a gritstone tor overlooking the Burbage Valley and the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark [1] to the southeast.
Location
editThe tor is stands to the south west of Sheffield, just within the city boundary, about 200 metres (220 yd) east of the border with Derbyshire, which runs along the nearby road to Ringinglow. The village of Hathersage is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the west.
Historically this area was within the ancient county of Derbyshire, but the surrounding area was annexed to the City of Sheffield in 1933, and now lies in the ceremonial county of South Yorkshire.
