There are three parts to Staple Tors, sometimes known ans Steeple - Little, Mid and Great. Great Staple Tor is famous for its towers (or steeples) of granite blocks that perch on each other creating unusual shapes. This is Great Staple Tor. Little Staple Tor has an extensive clitter field that was exploited in the 19th century to make a granite stone dressing industry. The Staple Tors together with Roos Tor form a chain of tors that flank the west side of the Walkham valley.
