  • In this captivating Dartmoor adventure, join me as I venture to the picturesque village of Postbridge, known for its ancient clapper bridge and a nearby double stone row. Explore the historic bridge's origins dating back to the 13th century, designed for pack horses carrying tin to Tavistock. Witness the stunning beauty of Dartmoor's landscape and follow my journey through open moorlands. Although one stone row remains a mystery, my exploration leaves me in awe of the natural wonders surrounding me. Join me on this scenic and enriching escapade into Dartmoor's history and breathtaking scenery.

      I've seen some glorious sunsets over the years on Dartmoor, it's such a special place. There is so much history to explore, I can't wait to get back up! Thanks for watching Sarah.

    With the delightful British weather adding a touch of rain to your enchanting walk, the scenery remains absolutely spectacular. The pasty you enjoyed appeared incredibly appetizing, leaving me yearning for one myself. Each camp and walk presents a fresh adventure, making repeat visits a perpetual pleasure, as you might chance upon something new each time, especially given the ever-changing weather.

      You description of it is perfect, so glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed that pasty! I'm just waiting for the weather to get a little better before venturing up again! Thanks for watching Chris.

    You had some beautiful weather and consequently colours for this video. I haven’t been to Postbridge since doing my D of E Silver Exhibition and that was so long ago the bridge was still under builders’ warranty. My father was born in Devon as were his parents. My grandmother was so Devonian that I haven’t as yet discovered an ancestor of hers born outside the county and I’ve gone back to the 1500s. As ever, thank you for the video.

      Wow that goes back some time, probably even further as records probably don't exist beyond that date. Thanks for watching mark, glad you enjoyed it.

      Thank you Pully, much appreciated. I think I'm going to have to find a way to trim my pack weight a bit further so I can bring a gimbal next time. I'm sure when you did it you're pack weight was many more times heavier than mine though. I like to keep it light as I don't want to lug too much gear around anymore. I completely forgot about the folk festival, if I don't see you have fun down in Salcombe!
