I had already dealt with this upland district in two chapters in my " Book of the West, vol. i., Devon." But in their opinion this wild and wondrous region deserved more particular treatment than I had been able to accord to it in the limited space at my disposal in the above-mentioned book. I have now entered with some fulness, but by no means exhaustively, into the subject ; and for those who desire a closer acquaintance with, and a more precise guide to the several points of interest on "the moor," I would indicate three works that have preceded this. I. Mr. J. Brooking Rowe in 1896 republished the Perambulation of Dartmoor, first issued by his great- uncle, Mr.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

  • Autumn Beacon 18
    Burrator BEACON Autumn 2018 Re-opening of Burrator reservoir after it was raised in 1928 (Photo credit: South West Water) 2 Burrator Beacon Editorial – Karen Batson As you have driven across Dartmoor, you may have noticed signs showing the number of sheep or ponies killed by vehicles in a particular area of the moor. Sadly, this is an ongoing problem. There are two articles after the Clerk’s Report about this important issue, which relate directly to our parish. Thanks must go to those volunteers who are giving up their own time to protect our livestock and, it must be said, US! Who knows how long it will be before another member of the public is a victim of those who continue to put their own needs first before the safety of all? On a lighter note, there are lots of interesting reports in this issue, which bear testament to all those other volunteers who work hard to stage events and entertainment for our benefit. The winter issue of the Burrator Beacon will be published at the end of November. Deadline for copy will be Tuesday 6th November, at the latest. That issue will cover the months up until the end of February 2019. Don’t forget, this is your magazine for your parish, so we would like to hear from you! Do consider writing a piece about any of the events you have participated in, or visited, in our area. We need to spread the word about all the great things that happen around here. Please send all submissions as Word attachments, as this makes the cut and pasting process much simpler! Parish Clerk’s Report – Lucie Luke The Planning Committee have recently been consulted on the following applications with the Parish Council’s comments in bold: 0305/18 Proposed installation of BT cabinet, addition of antennas to existing telegraph pole and ancillary equipment, Telegraph pole at Burrator Dam, Burrator Reservoir, Yelverton SUPPORTED Application 0301/18 Proposed erection of side extension to orangery, 2 Boundary Road, Dousland.

  • Holne Settlement Profile
    Holne 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 Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Holne 1 Introduction Holne is a small nucleated village with an irregular form lying on the south eastern slopes of Dartmoor about 3.5 miles west of Ashburton. There is a limited range of community services. The village is centred on its church, St Mary the Virgin, the Church House Inn and the village hall. A community shop and tea room has also been in operation for some time. Farming is important locally as well as tourism accommodation and hospitality. The central area is quite substantial and the oldest buildings are located here. The churchyard is of generous size. The site being slightly elevated ensures that the church stands proudly over its village.

  • Bellever Audio Walk Transcript
    Bellever Audio Walk Transcript Peter Nash – Presenter Jackie Ridley, Sustainable Tourism Officer, Dartmoor National Park Authority Jane Marchand, Archaeologist, Dartmoor National Park Authority Dru Butterfield, Manager, Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust Track One – Introduction Postbridge Information Centre (Grid reference SX 646 789) Hello and welcome to Dartmoor National Park and this audio walk from Postbridge pretty much in the centre of the park in to Bellever forest, which promises to be a fascinating walk, with a lot of prehistoric remains to be explored. We are starting off at the Information Centre in the Postbridge car park, and as with all Dartmoor National Park Authority audio walks, we have divided this audio tour in to several sections, each one being a separate track for you to download on to your player. That way you can simply switch off when you are walking and then start playing the new track at the next point of interest, and I will give you full directions when to do this on the audio itself. You will also find that the name of each track include the grid reference of where you should be, so that you can follow the tour using a standard Ordnance Survey map, Explorer OL28 for Dartmoor, in this case, or you can download the accompanying map so you have a back up to the instructions on the audio. Today’s walk is a circular one, beginning and ending at the Information Centre, taking us out of Postbridge to the south and in to Bellever forest, and then Krap’s Ring, a large enclosure of hut rings and then onward to Lakehead Hill.
