VH-KDK Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The first part of a flight around Dartmoor as requested by Mark. 1. Some very lush looking forest as we cross the River Plym with Dartmoor on the horizon 2. On the southern edge of the moor are the Whitehill Yeo china clay works. 3. Another view as we climb and head to the eastern edge of the moor. 4. The River Erm and Butterdon Hill. 5. Over Fox Tor and the upper Plym Valley 6. Princetown and Dartmoor Prison which has been open since 1809. 7. Dartmeet a very picturesque and popular tourist area. The East and West Dart Rivers meet here to form the Dart. 8. Uncle Tom Cobley and all may be seen here at Widecombe made famous by the 1880s folk song Widecombe Fair! I hope you enjoyed the first part of my tour around Dartmoor.

Mark Abdey Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 These are great! thanks very much Martyn Some very familiar places in these caps. There is a great pub just outside Widecombe if anyone is ever up there, it's called The Rugglestone Inn... one of my favorite pubs anywhere.

Captain Lars Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Every TE GB trip I see is fields and hedges... that's great because it means that England is really full of hedges. Ecologically extremely valuable, take good care of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Laurence, never mind but we would still like to see your images from Dartmoor as no doubt they would show it from different angles from mine.

Cheers Mark, you cannot beat a traditional pub out in the countryside can you. We used to go to some pleasant ones out in the New Forest, I wonder how many are still there.

A very important part of the wildlife in the UK but with broadacre farming the hedgerows are disappearing which is very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
