United Kingdom, Dartmoor National Park. Petting a wild pony in Dartmoor National Park probably wasn’t the best idea. It lunged for my hand, attempting to bite. There’s a reason these furry ponies are called “wild!”

Places to see in ( Ashburton - UK )
Ashburton is a small town on the south-southeastern edge of Dartmoor in Devon, adjacent to the A38. It was formerly important as a stannary town, and remains the largest town within the National Park, Ashburton has five pubs within the centre of town, and two restaurants. The town is also part of the electoral ward named Ashburton and Buckfastleigh.
The name is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as Essebretone. Ashburton was then the main town of the Parish of Ashburton, in Teignbridge Hundred. During the English Civil War, Ashburton was a temporary refuge for Royalist troops fleeing after their defeat by General Fairfax at nearby Bovey Tracey.
The town was the terminus of the Buckfastleigh, Totnes and South Devon Railway that opened on 1 May 1872. Ashburton railway station closed to passengers in November 1958 although goods traffic on the line continued until 7 September 1962. Ashburton used to be famous for a beverage known as Ashburton Pop, possibly a type of champagne, the recipe of which was lost with the brewer in 1765.
Ashburton Carnival is one of the oldest, possibly the oldest, surviving in Devon. Written records date it back to 1891, but it is believed to have been started in the mid-1880s to raise funds for a new hospital. Ashburton Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in 1910. The club continued into the 1920s. Ashmoor Hockey Club was formed in 2003 and plays at South Dartmoor Community College.
The parish church of St Andrew is a fine building of the 15th century with a tall tower and two aisles. The 15th century church tower includes sculptures by Herbert Read, who also carved the oak reredos. One window has stained glass designed by C. E. Kempe. The porch is partly Norman.
St Lawrence Chapel is a Grade ll* Listed Building in St Lawrence Lane in the centre of the town. Originally a chantry chapel and then a grammar school for over 600 years, St Lawrence Chapel is now an important heritage, cultural and community centre, managed by the Guild of St Lawrence. Saint Gudula Well and Cross in Old Totnes Road is probably named after St Gulval, also honoured at Gulval in Cornwall. The Rippon Tor Rifle Range lies within five miles of Ashburton.

Places to see in ( Bovey Tracey - UK )
Bovey Tracey is a small town and civil parish in Devon, England, on the edge of Dartmoor, its proximity to which gives rise to the slogan used on the town's boundary signs, The Gateway to the Moor. It is often known locally as Bovey. It is about 10 miles south-west of Exeter and lies on the A382 road, about halfway between Newton Abbot and Moretonhampstead. The village is at the centre of the electoral ward of Bovey.
Bovey Tracey was an established Saxon community and takes its name from the River Bovey. The name first appears in Domesday Book as Bovi and possibly earlier as Buui. The town gained its second name from the de Tracey family who were lords of the manor after the Norman Conquest, and was first documented as Bovitracy in 1309.
The name of Cromwell lives on in the town today in both the public house The Cromwell Arms and the remains of a nearby stone arch, known locally (and incorrectly) as Cromwell's Arch. The arch is actually what is left of a priory that stood previously on the site of the nearby Baptist Church. Bovey railway station was opened on 26 June 1866 with the new Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway on a site to the west of the town. It closed to passengers on 28 February 1959, but goods trains continued to operate until 6 July 1970. The town is twinned with Le Molay-Littry in Normandy.
Bovey Tracey lies in the valley of the River Bovey at the junction of the A382 road (between Newton Abbot and Moretonhampstead) and the B3387 road (Chudleigh Knighton to Haytor Vale). On the outskirts of the town are the House of Marbles, a visitor attraction on the site of the historic pottery; and the headquarters of the Dartmoor National Park Authority at Parke, a large house which is leased to the authority by the National Trust. Also nearby are a Devon Wildlife Trust nature reserve at Bovey Heath and the Haytor Granite Tramway, the route of which runs through the parish, west of the town.

Places to see in ( Teignmouth - UK )
Teignmouth is a town and civil parish in Teignbridge in the English county of Devon, situated on the north bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign about 14 miles south of Exeter. Teignmouth grew from a fishing port associated with the Newfoundland cod industry to a fashionable resort of some note in Georgian times, with further expansion after the opening of the South Devon Railway in 1846. Today, Teignmouth port still operates and the town remains a popular seaside holiday location.
Teignmouth is located on the north bank of the mouth of the estuary of the River Teign, at the junction of the A379 coast road, the A381 road to Newton Abbot, and the B3192 which climbs up to the A380 on Haldon and hence on to the M5 12 miles away. Teignmouth is linked to Shaldon, the village on the opposite bank, by a passenger ferry at the river mouth and by a road bridge further upstream.
Den Crescent and its central Assembly Rooms, laid out in 1826 by Andrew Patey of Exeter, still survive relatively unchanged today. St. Scholastica's Abbey, on the road to Dawlish, built in 1864 by Henry Woodyer is a notable Gothic Revival building, and the Roman Catholic Church, on the same road, is a late work by Joseph Hansom, the inventor of the hansom cab.
In 1894, there were 26 public houses in Teignmouth . Pubs today include the Blue Anchor Inn on Teign Street and the Devon Arms on Northumberland Place. The River Beach is home to a varied selection of seasonal and permanent beach huts. Teignmouth and Shaldon museum was completed in 2011. The town's newest public building is the Pavilions Teignmouth, a community arts and enterprise centre on the Den.
Apart from its sea beach and Teignmouth Pier with amusement arcade and rides, the beach wraps around the spit at the head of the river Teign providing a river beach, commonly known as the Back Beach (dogs are allowed all year on this part of the beach), on the estuary side which overlooks the harbour with its moorings for many pleasure craft, and has views up the estuary to Dartmoor. An 18-mile (29 km) long waymarked route known as the Templer Way has been created between Haytor on Dartmoor and Shaldon. It closely follows the route of George Templer's granite tramway, his father James's Stover Canal and finally the estuary to Teignmouth.

Uk Dartmoor
Dartmoor is an upland area in southern Devon, England.
Protected by National Park status as Dartmoor National Park, it covers 954 km2
The granite which forms the uplands dates from the Carboniferous Period of geological history.
The landscape consists of moorland capped with many exposed granite hilltops known as tors, providing habitats for Dartmoor wildlife.
The highest point is High Willhays, 621 m above sea level.
The entire area is rich in antiquities and archaeology.
Dartmoor is managed by the Dartmoor National Park Authority, whose 22 members are drawn from Devon County Council, local district councils and Government.
Parts of Dartmoor have been used as military firing ranges for over 200 years.
The public is granted extensive land access rights on Dartmoor and it is a popular tourist destination.
Dartmoor includes the largest area of granite in Britain, with about 625 km2 at the surface, though most of it is under superficial peat deposits.
The granite was intruded at depth as a pluton into the surrounding sedimentary rocks during the Carboniferous period, probably about 309 million years ago.
It is generally accepted that the present surface is not far below the original top of the pluton; evidence for this includes partly digested shale xenoliths, contamination of the granite and the existence of two patches of altered sedimentary rock on top of the granite.
A considerable gravity anomaly is associated with the Dartmoor pluton as with other such plutons.
Measurement of the anomaly has helped to determine the likely shape and extent of the rock mass at depth.
Dartmoor is known for its tors – hills topped with outcrops of bedrock, which in granite country such as this are usually rounded boulder-like formations.
More than 160 of the hills of Dartmoor have the word tor in their name but quite a number do not.
However, this does not appear to relate to whether or not there is an outcrop of rock on their summit.
The tors are the focus of an annual event known as the Ten Tors Challenge, when around 2400 people aged between 14 and 19 walk for distances of 56, 72 or 88 km between ten tors on many differing routes.
The highest points on Dartmoor are on the northern moor: High Willhays, 621 m , and Yes Tor, 619 m , The highest points on the southern moor are Ryder's Hill, 515 m , , Snowdon 495 m , , and an unnamed point, 493 m at , between Langcombe Hill and Shell Top.
The best-known tor on Dartmoor is Haytor , 457 m , .
For a more complete list see List of Dartmoor tors and hills.
The high ground of Dartmoor forms the catchment area for many of Devon's rivers.
As well as shaping the landscape, these have traditionally provided a source of power for moor industries such as tin mining and quarrying.
The moor takes its name from the River Dart, which starts as the East Dart and West Dart and then becomes a single river at Dartmeet.
It leaves the moor at Buckfastleigh, flowing through Totnes below where it opens up into a long ria, reaching the sea at Dartmouth.
For a full list, expand the Rivers of Dartmoor navigational box at the bottom of this page.
Much more rain falls on Dartmoor than in the surrounding lowlands.
As much of the national park is covered in thick layers of peat , the rain is usually absorbed quickly and distributed slowly, so the moor is rarely dry.
In areas where water accumulates, dangerous bogs or mires can result.
Some of these, topped with bright green moss, are known to locals as feather beds or quakers, because they can shift beneath a person's feet.
Quakers result from sphagnum moss growing over the water that accumulates in the hollows in the granite.
The vegetation of the bogs depends on the type and location.
Blanket bog, which forms on the highest land where the rainfall exceeds 2,000 millimetres a year, consists mainly of cotton-grass , sedges , Bog Asphodel and Common Tormentil, with Sphagnum thriving in the wettest patches.
The valley bogs have lush growth of rushes, with sphagnum, cross-leaved heath, sundews and several other species
Some of the bogs on Dartmoor have achieved notoriety.

095: Circuit of Chagford (Chagford, Nattadon Common and the River Teign)
DARTMOOR WALK FEATURING CHAGFORD, NATTADON COMMON AND CHAGFORD BRIDGE
Circuit of Chagford”
Filmed 1st November 2017
Running time: 20 minutes
During my exploration of Dartmoor in the autumn of 2017 I visit the historic stannary town of Chagford. My walk starts and ends here, which begins with a very steep climb up to Nattadon Common. However, the climb is worth it for the spectacular views. The walk then becomes much easier as my route takes me through woodlands and across fields before taking a delightful and gentle stroll beside the River Teign…..
Filmed in Dartmoor in the county of Devon. Locations include Chagford, Nattadon Common, Rushford Bridge and Chagford Bridge.
Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.
