Higger Tor or Higgar Tor is a dominant landmark of the Dark Peak, in the north of the Peak District of Derbyshire. It is a hill capped with a gritstone tor overlooking the Burbage Valley and the Iron Age hill fort known as Carl Wark[1] to the southeast.
The village of Hathersage is approximately a mile and a half to the west.
A scene from the 1987 film The Princess Bride was filmed nearby at Carl Wark with Higger Tor visible in the background.[2]
