About This Book

A richly illustrated guide surveys the upland landscape, antiquities, and folk traditions of Dartmoor, blending natural history, archaeology, and local lore. Early chapters describe physical features such as bogs and tors and summarize contemporary archaeological interpretations of prehistoric settlements, stone rows, and kistvaens. Later sections outline industrial remains, notably tin-streaming and blowing-houses, and offer practical rambles and station-based excursions to villages and moorland sites, accompanied by plans, drawings, and photographs to aid exploration.
