Bellever Tor is a rock-clad hill on Dartmoor, rising to 1,453 feet, on the High Moor between Two Bridges and Postbridge. At the foot of its eastern slope sits the hamlet of Bellever, on the East Dart River.
The hillside is rich in prehistoric archaeology: there are hut circles and other settlement remains, and cairn and cist sites, as in much of this part of the high moor.
The flanks of the hill are swallowed in the Bellever Forest, a small plantation by the Forestry Commission.
The summit of the tor has the granite outcrops typifying Dartmoor, and is topped with an Ordnance Survey trig pillar.
