They are arriving on site on Monday 8 May when the final phase of the project to Save Castle Drogo will begin in earnest. It now feels like we are on the final stretch! Thank you for your thoughts and feedback about the introduction of car park charging in the Castle Drogo car park. Following your suggestions, there will be a short stay option of £2 for 2 hours as well as the £4 all day option. Hopefully this will be welcomed by those who just want to pop in for a short stroll and a cuppa. Don’t forget that car park charges will begin on Monday 26 June and all proceeds will go straight to caring for the Teign Gorge. In other news, our free croquet lessons are back this year. Please pop along on the first Tuesday of the month in June, July and September to get your free croquet lesson from Gabby, our resident croquet expert.

Nick Saintey, Dan Goddard and Chris Hampton from Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood, fine art auctioneers and valuers, were our experts for the evening. They had brought with them an array of items, 10 in all. Each object came under scrutiny with the three experts offering us a different description of it outlining its age and value and provenance. Our task was to decide which was the correct description, A, B or C.

A grand total of £1,900 was raised for Village Hall funds and these funds are much needed. We were so lucky with the weather which at one point threatened to break but didn’t, unlike the tug o’ war rope - so glad no one was hurt. Many people contributed to the success of the day with donations for stalls, wood for the fire, raffle prizes, the wonderful marquee, bales and trailer, live music, emergency tables, water and electricity and lots of elbow grease. Wonderful teams set everything up and took it all down again in record time. The Sporting Green was virtually clear by 6.30pm. Finally thank you all for coming along to support the event because without you, there would be no successful event.

  • Drewsteignton Settlement Profile
    Drewsteignton September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by Dartmoor National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with SettlementParish/Town Profile: Councils Drewsteignton and will be updated as necessary. 1 Introduction Drewsteignton, located in the northeast part of the National Park, is set in an elevated position, north of the River Teign. Lying outside the granite mass of the high moor, the area has a complex geology; the working of limestone and metalliferous minerals played an important role in the development of the village. Originally a service centre for the surrounding agricultural community, that role has now declined. Below the village, on the River Teign, lies the popular beauty spot of Fingle Bridge. Castle Drogo, another busy tourist attraction, lies to the south-west of the village.

    Devon County Geological Sites Site reference no. SX58NW1 Name: Sourton Tors District: Dartmoor National Park, Parish: Sourton West Devon National grid ref: 5398894 - 5449904 OS sheets: 1:50k 191 1:25k OL28 1:10k SX GS 1:50k 338 GridRef x y Lat Long SX542898 254200 89800 50.68953 -4.0654694 Locality description (address): Sourton Tors Nature of site: Twin ridge tors of volcanic agglomerate and dolerite in the metamorphic aureole of the Dartmoor granite. Geological / geomorphological features: Lower Carboniferous, Meldon Shale and Quartzite Formation. The two tors are aligned NE-SW and are separated by a more gently sloping shelf. The higher ridge is formed by the outcrop of massive volcanic agglomerate and tuff. Some of the fragments in the agglomerate are large and are mainly of lava (keratophyre), with some sedimentary fragments. Traces of bedding are visible in the finer-grained tuffs. The dip is about 300 to the NW and the bedding is inverted on the overturned limb of a large fold. Below the agglomerates there is no exposure of rock on the shelf but some fragments of hornfelsed shale occur. The lower tor is formed of porphyritic dolerite with feldspar crystals up to 20 mm long. Some secondary fibrous amphibole can be seen. The dolerite intrudes the rocks of the Meldon Shale and Quartzite Formation. The whole sequence is affected by the thermal metamorphism of the Dartmoor Granite. To the north east [546900] the embankments of the ponds of the old ice works provide a view towards Meldon reservoir. The West Okement river, which is controlled by the NW-SE aligned Prewley Fault in its upper reaches, Can be seen to make a sharp turn to the NE at Vellake corner as a result of river capture.
