Corrina introduces you to this stunning new book...I have been walking on Dartmoor for the past twenty years so I`m pretty sure that according to some very old, possibly written in stone law, the moor belongs to me now. Cool! It`s the most beautiful, magical place, overflowing with history that dates back thousands of years, & it`s everywhere. It`s got spooky stuff too, like Witches, the Devil, Hell hounds, Pixies & Phantom Pigs
- what more could you want? I often drag my friends up onto the moor in the middle of the night on ghost walks
- they love it. They do get a little nervous though when they hear me say ”I don`t think this is the right path.” Fortunately no one has been tempted away by the Devil, turned to stone by the Witch or been chased away by a phantom piggy
- yet! This little books, is my way of saying thank you to the moor & hopefully showing others some of its beauty. I am not a professional photographer & make no apologies for the rawness of my photos. I go on Dartmoor to walk & enjoy
- I am not one for sitting still for hours with camera & tripod trying to capture the perfect light for the perfect picture. Life is too short! The prehistoric remains on Dartmoor are mostly from the Neolithic & early Bronze age period & there are hundreds of them! We`ve got stone rows, round pounds, stone coffins & much more. You just have to know where to look. Some of them are very easy to find as they are literally just by the roadside, others take a bit of trekking & a lot of luck. Very rewarding work though. My favourite place for antiquities is up around Drizzlecombe which is found on the South moor. Its got impressive stone rows, a good example of a submerged Kistvaen, a giant cairn & some hut circle remains in a round pound. Lots to investigate & its not too far from Ditsworthy Warreners cottage, another great place to visit. Unlike Stonehenge you can get up close & personal with all the antiquities on Dartmoor (unless they are on private land of course) so you can hug, kiss or feel the vibrations to your hearts content!
