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.

House of Marbles studio EVP
This bit of footage was shot in the studio room at the house of marbles in Bovey Tracey, Devon, UK.
Until Luke enteres the room there is just Andrea and myself present. You hear me say that Luke is coming back then I hear something else and quietly say what was that and I aim the camera briefly in the direction I thought I heard something.
By now you will see Luke about to close the door and as his back turns and faces away to close it, you will hear a voice say the light goes on.
I do not believe Luke said this. He is too far away. You will notice a distinct sound difference in what he says very shortly afterwards and you will hear him say something in his own language to Andrea who is sat to my left.
We had a K2 EMF meter sat on the floor and I feel that this EVP talking about a light going on is in reference to the K2 meter.. If so it would seem that the EVP voice could actually be talking to somebody else...

PARKE - FAMILY WALK - National Trust Property - Near Bovey Tracey
PARKE - FAMILY WALK - National Trust Property - Near Bovey Tracey. As part of our Spring time South Devon holiday earlier in the year, we visited the National Trust Property Parke - located near Bovey Tracey and a short distance away from Dartmoor's Haytor.
A nice woodland walk, despite the turning weather, in an idyllic country setting. Some of our best days out with kids have been in the various National Trust gardens and National Trust woodlands, and is a fantastic healthy thing to do with kids to distract them from the dreaded screens.
