Bob Lillie's Travels: On Dartmoor

Since the last post we visited some prehistoric and medieval sites on Dartmoor as well as another site of more recent historic interest.

Roborough Rock on the edge of the old World War 2

Airfield at Yelverton on the edge of Dartmoor.

When I was at boarding school in Plymouth in the 1950's

we frequently came here and climbed all over this rock!

Looking across the site of one of the runways.

Back in the 1950's, the runways will still there,

but they are long gone now. This airfield was used as

a departure point for flights to the USA and other places

so travellers such as Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt

passsed through here. Also, I understand that Glenn Miller

departed from here on his last and fatal flight

These earthworks were constructed to protect aircraft from

bombing raids and were contstructed using rubble from bombed

houses in Plymouth.

The Prehistoric Stone Rows at Merrivale near Princetown, Dartmoor.

The more complete row

The other row together with the leat constructed in the

16th Century on the orders of the then Mayor, Sir Francis Drake,

as part of the Water Supply for Plymouth

A prehistoric cyst or burial chamber. It would have had another

capstone and been covered by earth originally.

A medieval marker for the track across the moor

from Ashburton to Tavistock.

The medieval clapper bridge crossing the River Dart at

Postbridge in the middle of Datrmoor

View Across Grimspound pre-historic village

A hut circle and the main gate at Grimspound

Hut circles witin Grimspound. The huts would have a conical thatched roof.

follow this link to see what such huts would have looked like.

Old field systems can be seen on the far hillside. These may relate to the

deserted medieval village of Challacombe further down the valley

The church in the village of Widdecombe In the Moor - famouse for it's fair

Widdicombe Fair

Tom Pearse, Tom Pearse, lend me your grey mare
All along, down along, out along lee
For I want for to go to Widdicombe Fair
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney
Peter Day, Daniel Whiddon, Harry Hawk
Old Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all
Old Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all.
And when shall I see again my grey mare?
All along, down along, out along lee
By Friday soon, or Saturday noon
With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney
Peter Day, Daniel Whiddon, Harry Hawk
Old Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all
Old Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all.

Then Friday came and Saturday noon
All along, down along, out along lee
But Tom Pearse's mare has not trotted home.
With Bill Brewer etc.

So Tom Pearse he got up to the top of the hill
All along, down along, out along lee
He see'd his old mare down a-making her will.
With Bill Brewer etc.

So Tom Pearce's old mare, she took sick and died
All along, down along, out along lee
And Tom, he sat down on a stone and he cried.
With Bill Brewer etc.

But this isn't the end of this shocking affair
All along, down along, out along lee
Nor though they be dead of the horrid career.
With Bill Brewer etc.

When the wind whistles cold on the moor of a night
All along, down along, out along lee
Tom Pearse's old mare doth appear ghastly white.
With Bill Brewer etc.

And all the long night be heard skirling and groans
All along, down along, out along lee
From Tom Pearse's old mare and a rattling of bones.
With Bill Brewer etc.
