Download or read book Walks on Dartmoor Paths and Trackways written by Michael Caton and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty eight walks varying in length from 2 to 7 1/2 miles. Photographs illustrate many of the features to be seen on the walks. Using over sixty years of knowledge of Dartmoor, Michael Caton leads you on a series of 28 walks based on paths and trackways over the moor. Some of these walks are based on those led by the author for the Dartmoor Preservation Association. Many of the walks have not been described in previous guidebooks or are not shown on the OS 1:25,000 map. The walks are for those who wish to venture well into the open moor without having to negotiate the rough Dartmoor terrain. A section has been included on the origin and history of the tracks including special comment on the route of the well known Abbot’s Way. There is also a section describing briefly what to see on the walks, including prehistoric monuments, medieval and later remains such as mining and granite crosses, as well as flora and fauna. The walks have been arranged in order around the southern and then the northern moor. Each walk starts at a suitable parking place. The routes are described in detail with appropriate grid references and brief information on the scenery and features to be seen. The start of all the walks is shown on an overview map of Dartmoor. About half of the routes are circular whereas others are more suited to a linear course. The walk descriptions are accompanied by maps in which the route has been sketched out on the appropriate section of the 1:25,000 OS map. A separate section gives advice to walkers and explains how to use this guide. It also draws attention to safety issues of walking on Dartmoor, including the dangers of military firing and adverse weather conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Crosses of Dartmoor: With a Description of Their Surroundings My researches in this region of rocky tor and rushing river I have never tired of pursuing, a love for its dear old hills, extending back as far as memory will carry me, attracting me to its wild solitudes, where, by the side of the stone circle and the moss-covered cairn we seem to stand on the border-land between the present and the dim and distant past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...Too late! for high on Warwick wall In one brief hour his head must be." Johns, Gaveston on Dartmoor. The cross, of which only the head now remains, is lying near the edge of the pool, and probably not far from its original site. It is particularly unfortunate that it should have been overturned and shattered, for no spot could be more fitting for it than the bank of the silent pool. Regaining the road, near the little stream which flows from below the pool, we continue on our way, and shortly come in sight of a ravine sloping down to the southern branch of the Mew. When about a half a mile from this ravine, we leave the road a little on our left, and at the distance of a few score yards from it, shall come upon the second of the crosses which compose the line extending from this common to Holne Moor. It is unfortunately broken, and the lower part of the shaft is gone. We cannot but lament that this is so, and deplore the spirit of wanton spoliation that has raised its hand, here in the wilds, to strike this old relic low. The portion that remains lies on the ground by the side of the socket stone in which it was once fixed, and measures one foot ten and a half inches across the arms, which are eleven inches deep; the shaft, or what is left of it, being two feet four inches in height. It is eight and a half inches wide below the arms, and the same immediately above them, but gradually widens upwards, being nine and a half inches at the top. The stone in which the socket is cut is very nearly square, measuring two feet eight inches by two feet ten inches, and is one foot nine inches in thickness. The socket measures thirteen inches by eleven and a half, and is six inches deep, the stone, which has been carefully shaped, has been moved...

This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the times when you’re driving past a lumpy, bumpy field and you wonder what made the lumps and bumps; for when you’re walking between two lines of grand trees, wondering when and why they were planted; for when you see a brown heritage sign pointing to a ‘tumulus’ but you don’t know what to look for… Entertaining and factually rigorous, Hidden Histories will help you decipher the story of our landscape through the features you can see around you. This Spotter’s Guide arms the amateur explorer with the crucial information needed to ‘read’ the landscape and spot the human activities that have shaped our green and pleasant land. Photographs and diagrams point out specific details and typical examples to help the curious Spotter ‘get their eye in’ and understand what they’re looking at, or looking for. Specially commissioned illustrations bring to life the processes that shaped the landscape - from medieval ploughing to Roman road building - and stand-alone capsules explore interesting aspects of history such as the Highland Clearances or the coming of Christianity. This unique guide uncovers the hidden stories behind the country's landscape, making it the perfect companion for an exploration of our green and pleasant land.
