Widecombe-in-the-Moor - The Old Inn

Widecombe-in-the-Moor is on the south side of Dartmoor, in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park. The village is probably best known for Widecombe Fair, held annually and celebrated by a well-known folksong of the same name, featuring 'Old Uncle Tom Cobley and All'. Its words were first published in 1880. The Old Inn dates from the 14th century and was apparently built by those who were building St Pancras Church, just across the road.
