Thanks so much Lyn, seeing you are a special friend, I might give you directions to this peaceful getaway, just don’t tell anyone, LOL.,

Thank-you very much Eva and Klaus, it is beautiful in Summer but gets very cold there in Winter, I took this one in September,

Many thanks Mark, much appreciated, it is indeed very peaceful there,

Thank-you very much Bela, when we get a lot of tourists in our area I like to go here to get away from the crowds,

Hi Vicki, thanks so much my friend, I hope you had a wonderful Birthday,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Gyuri,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Lynda, we are ALL very much looking forward to Spring and that much awaited greenery, I was hoping to get some snow shots today but it turned to heavy rain overnight and it’s all gone now,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Don, I thought you might know it, a great place to escape the crowds in Summertime, the last time I was there I walked over the bridge and off to the right for a mile or two till I got to a donkey sanctuary and guess what, my battery ran flat before I could get a decent shot of any of them,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Gerry, I’m sure the snow you have had makes for some wonderful images, we had snow this week but it only lasted a day, the first for years,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Diane, this is on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park and that is more or less in the middle of the county of Devon,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Clark, so kind of you my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Ian, great to know you enjoy Devon so much, I keep meaning to revisit the Yorkshire moors but never get round to it for one reason or another, must put that to rights soon,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Pat, I expect it must have had a fair bit of snow this week, we even had it for a day or so in Torquay and that is the first for many years,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Barbara, thanks so much my friend, I did have images in tourist brochures but they always plead poverty when it comes to paying out so I don’t pursue that line these days,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Chris,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Violetta,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Dave, it is always so lush and green up there on the edge of the moors,

Thank-you very much Monika,

Thank-you very much Tom, I often retreat to these quiet rural villages when the tourist Season is in full swing,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Mike, I do hope you can make the trip down here this Summer, Dartmoor awaits you,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks Richard, if you leave Yelverton at the roundabout and turn up to the moors, when you reach Dousland there is a large hotel on a crossroads, turn left down to Walkhampton, through the village and you reach this at the bottom of the hill, worth a visit,
Regards, Rod.

Hello Vadim, thank-you very much indeed my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Trudi, with our wet climate, greenery is no problem, I’m sure we’d both settle for something midway between our climate and yours,
Regards, Rod.

I’d guess it’s about twenty miles from Merton as the crow flies Diane but almost twice that far by road, one day I’ll try to visit Merton if I’m up that way.

Not far from Tavistock, go on to Yelverton then turn left up onto the moors, a shortway up and you get to a small village,Dousland, there is a large moorland hotel on a crossroads, turn left to Walkhampton down a narrow lane, through the village and you reach this at the bottom.

Thank-you very much Cheryl, the old building used to be the Post Office, if you look closely you can just see the red cast iron post box in front of it,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Donna, Dartmoor can be quite busy with tourists in the Summer and it’s good to go to some of these lesser known spots during those times to escape the crowds,
Regards, Rod..

Thank-you very much Anne-Marie,
Regards, Rod.

Many thanks Keith, appreciated as always my friend,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Wanda,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Des,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Dave, I’m not sure how well you know the geography of the moors but it’s on the Western side, a couple of miles East of Tavistock and Yelverton then down a long narrow lane to the village of Walkhampton,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Shane,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jamie,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Peter, it’s on the Western side of the moors only a couple of miles on the moor side of Yelverton, if you leave the big roundabout at Yelverton and head up to the moors, there is a crossroads at the little village of Dousland, turn right to Burrator Reservoir or if you turn left you go down to Walkhampton, hope that rings a bell in your memory,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Connie,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Jacqi, it is idyllic in Summer but a lot colder than our place by the sea in Winter,

Regards, Rod.

Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Maxy, very kind of you,

Thank-you very much Malcolm, I have to add, it’s on the Cornish side of the moors though, just a few miles inside Devon.
I am looking forward to spending a week in the Penzance area in May, all being well,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Nan, very kind of you, it would be wonderful if you could make that trip home to Dorset this year,

Thank-you very much indeed Linda,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Catherine, it is so peaceful there and I keep getting drawn back to visit it again, the kind of place I could happily retire to one day,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much John, these relatively unknown peaceful spots on the moors are fast becoming fewer in number with the many tourists who like myself, eventually seek them out,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Sonia, it is a delightful little village and so peaceful,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Pauline, thank-you very much my friend, one of those lesser known parts of Dartmoor that the tourists haven’t found YET,
Regards, Rod.

Regards, Rod.

Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Rachel, it’s such a peaceful spot and well away from the busier part of the moors that get a few too many tourists at times,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Catherine, it does indeed look like Badgers Holt, just a bit quieter with very few tourists.
I’m sure you’d enjoy a walk along the river there, if you go from Princetown towards Yelverton and at the little village of Dousland (near Burrator) turn right down to Walkhampton and continue through the village till you reach the bridge,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Bevan, we seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum with us having a little too much rain at times.
I have felt deeply disturbed by the terrible bushfires that have ravaged your area recently and my heart goes out to all who have suffered,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Robyn, it is a very peaceful out of the way location and I have often thought how wonderful it would be to live in that ivy clad house overlooking the bridge and stream.
Ivy does look pretty growing on an old house like this but I too would lose it for a different reason, it eventually finds it’s way into every slight crack and can do serious damage over the years,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much indeed Carol,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Jan, it is very peaceful there,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Robin,
Regards, Rod.

Thanks so much Grazyna, it’s a beautiful place to go in Summer when there are too many tourists on the rest of the moors,

Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much Eva and Klaus, I’m sure we are all looking forward to Spring and the warmer weather, it won’t be too long to wait now,
Regards, Rod.

It would make a fascinating jigsaw puzzle with all the greenery in the scene and probably a tricky one as well, thank-you very much John,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you very much, it is indeed so peaceful there,
Regards, Rod.

They do get a lot of rain in that part of the moors but it does keep everything looking so green and lush, many thanks Ros,
Regards, Rod.

Thank-you so much Daffodil, very kind of you,
Regards, Rod.

Hi Jacquei, thank-you very much, I can understand missing the kind of lush greenery as in this scene, possibly not so much the amount of rain that keeps it that way,
Regards, Rod.

Regards, Rod.
