Now you
can find out what really happened at nine of Dartmoor’s
abandoned farmsteads, some of which are walkers’ favourite
lunch spots.
Sub-titled ‘A Social History from Enclosure to Abandonment’,
the author separates fact from fiction, revealing tales of
conflicts, endless repairs, unyielding moorland, appalling
weather, and the people who lived in them.
Photographs
accompany the text, some rare and never before published.

included are:
