Hawk's Tor is a hill and tor on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, UK. Its summit is 307 metres (1,007 ft) above sea level.[2]
The tor, which is in the civil parish of Blisland, is located 7 miles (11 km) north east of the town of Bodmin.[2] The slopes of the tor contain Hawkstor Downs, the Stripple stones, a stone circle and Hawkstor Pit, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest noted for its biological interest.[3]
There is another Hawk's Tor (329 m) on Bodmin Moor, further east, near the village of North Hill.[2]
In 2022 the Hawks Tor reservoir, an old clay pit, was bought online by South West Water.[4] Its volume is about 1.5 million cubic metres.[5]
