A Clapper bridge |
Dartmoor Prison -1809 |
The view from Jo's, our Sister in Laws, in Gunnislake |
At the bottom of the hill from Jo's and by the river,probably a Land Rover enthusiasts worst nightmare |
Madelyn and I had never been to Horsebridge before |
........or this lovely pub 'The Royal Inn' built in approx 1480/90' apparently originally as a nunnery |
The bridge was built in 1437 by Benedictine monks and the nunnery 50 years later |
On our way and a quicker route back across the moor. The Highwayman Inn at Sourton Cross and probably one of the most unusual pubs around |
Even more unusual from the front Originally built as a Inn in 1282 |
This derelict cottage is directly across the road from the Highwayman and I don't remember ever noticing it before probably because we are always so busy looking at the pub |
Out of the hundreds of thatched cottages around the country I don't remember ever seeing one like this before,especially with the passageway |
Off of Dartmoor and across Exmoor. Occasionally do a few hundred miles round trip from Bristol on the Guzzi in the warmer months |
