I wouldn’t go out of my way to see Owler Tor, but as it’s between two beautiful spots – Padley Gorge and Lawrencefield – we stopped on the way back from Lawrencefield. The fog rolled in making views impossible, but adding an atmospheric feel to what was an otherwise unremarkable place.

To visit, we parked in a layby on the B6521 (53°18’40.0″N 1°37’05.5″W). There are steps from here leading down to the river that runs through the gorge, cross the bridge and head more-or-less straight to reach the tor. Also on the map is the walk to Padley Gorge and Lawrencefield.
There is more parking at either end of the gorge, near the ice cream van 53°18’57.8″N 1°36’50.4″W and in the town 53°18’15.3″N 1°37’31.6″W (paid), as well as (paid) Surprise View Car Park (53°19’02.0″N 1°37’23.4″W).
