We could have headed for the beach on such a blissfully beautiful sunny clear July day, instead we headed back up towards Dartmoor. The last time we went to Hound Tor, it was in March, a cold and blustery day.
Not a day for rock climbing.
Dartmoor is scattered with Granite Tors. Hound Tor really is the place where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had his inspiration for The Hound of the Baskervilles. It was a better day to visit in July rather than March.
Dartmoor has a mixture of traditional Farmland, with drystone walls and hedgerows. Peat and moorland protected as it's a National Park.
My friend Paulette asked me what Dartmoor was like.............
A bit like being on the top of the world, where the sky meets the land when you find a high enough spot.
The granite alive with flowers and lichen.
Sign posts that tell you the way to go, you can still get lost. No matter how many times we go there, we always come home a different way.
Farm Houses.
That you find down narrow lanes.
Wild open moor land.
The foal is asleep, in case your wondering, why he's lying down.
Cars parked beside the road....
Don't take my word for it, you can see for yourself.

Wow, Dartmoor is an awesome place! I love all the big rocks every where. Who was the laughing gentleman in the last video; he seemed very happy about something!
What a beautiful day to see a beautiful place. Thanks for taking me along.
It's beautiful. You're doing nice work as a travel journalist.
I wish I could be there and walk with you, I love rocks, lol. My husband always gives me weird looks when I go exploring around the rocks and stone walls, takes me back to a simpler time.

It looks like a wonderful place for a dog to run. Is that allowed?
How very beautiful!

Glad you stayed away from the Grimpen Mire! Looks like you had a lovely day. xx
Beautiful place and pictures.
I thoroughly enjoyed both of these posts, dear girl, I can't get enough of England pics, especially your area! Just gorgeous!
A lovely place to live and visit. England needs green unspoiled places like Dartmoor. Soul food.
You always have the neatest photos to show us!! Oh to be able to live where you live for a while... Your patch of the world is wonderful...
Thanks for sharing! 8-)
