Dartmoor's
One of the most well-known villages in Britain is Widecombe-in-the- Moor with the famous Widecombe Fair held annually on the second Tuesday of September. Together with many other attractions there are several pubs, weekly markets and arts and craft sales to attract the visitor throughout the summer. A place of homage is the magnificent church known as ‘Te Cathedral of the Moor’, with its peel of eight bells rung weekly. Facilities in the area include horse riding, cycling, rock climbing and much more to enjoy Dartmoor.
In the hamlet of Haytor Vale are the famous ‘haytor rocks’ and the historic Rock Inn. At nearby Lower Dunstone, there are two granite artefacts, one is a granite cross which has a hollow at its top.
Tis was for the tenants to place their rents and where the local chiefs held a court, the other is a huge boulder called ‘Te Dun Stone’.
East Dartmor
Te picturesque village of Bovey Tracey is close to the English Riviera. Drawing visitors is a Craft Centre with a working weaving loom, glass blowing, pottery making and a mill, plus other attractions. Near the town centre, the Parke Estate has woods, parkland and a river. Being only minutes off the Expressway and with budget places to eat and stay. Tis is a popular base for the coast resorts and Dartmoor.
Lustleigh is a small but active village with shops, a cafe, places to stay and the Cleave Inn. Walks from here include the Ridgeline for stunning views at Harton Chest and Hunter’s Tor, to Haytor Rocks, Hound Tor and Bowerman’s Nose. Similar gorges and cleaves on the fringes of Dartmoor are Teign Gorge, Belstone Cleave and Lydford Gorge with a waterfall.
One of the most beautiful areas of Dartmoor is around the village of Manaton. From here there is access to Lustleigh Cleave and Hayne Down, and the extraordinary Bowerman’s Nose, with views across to Haytor Rocks. Te Kelstor Inn is the place to eat, and it doubles as the local shop. Explore Manaton Rocks via the path behind St Winifred Church. Te views are superb, with Cosdon Hill to the northwest. Walk in one of the many woods in the area: try the East Dartmoor Woods, Heaths National Nature Reserve, and the BECKY FALLS WOODLAND PARK.
