From the Wikipedia article
Yes Tor is the second highest point on Dartmoor, Devon, South West England, at 619 metres (2,031 ft) above sea level. It is one of only two wholly English peaks south of the Peak District National Park—the other being nearby High Willhays—that are above 2,000 feet (610 m). The name means "eagle's tor", from Old English earnes torr. It lies within a British Army firing range and safe access is only possible on days or nights when firing is not taking place, as per the current Dartmoor Firing Notice. Yes Tor is 2 metres (7 feet) lower than the nearby High Willhays.
