Dartmoor Devon The Merrivale ceremonial complex is probably one of the second most important ritual landscapes on Dartmoor. This was nearly very dark it looks like daylight with exposure settings but far from it.
A short trip up to Haldon Forest last Saturday was worth the trip as I was gifted with this lovely sunrise over East Devon. A little mist formed on the hillside below me to add a little atmosphere to the scene so all in all not a bad trip.

Our first visit to Haytor back in March where we enjoyed some views all around, this was not really the walk I was expecting as the car park is adjacent to this stunning landmark. It is however quite a hike up the steep hill to get there!
The granite rocks of Haytor are extremely popular with rock climbers with the rock in the image I shared back in March being the popular rock to ascend.
I particularly liked the reflected sunburst in one of the puddles to the left of image when viewed large!
Sea pink at Hartland Quay, Devon, England, before sunset, longish exposure taken using ND filter, it was quite windy, most of the photos came out too blurry.
Dartmoor, which occupies much of West Devon, has varied landscapes, ranging from the bleak high moor to beautiful meadows with tree-lined streams and rivers. These tend to flow towards the south, where you will find numerous small farmsteads and other small settlements. Here the countryside really is "a green and pleasant land". This shot was taken virtually in the centre of Dartmoor, a mile or two to the east of Dartmeet, where the East and West Dart rivers join together before flowing south to the sea at Dartmouth.
Morning capture started with a 4.30am rise from a dreamless slumber, a short drive to the beach and a scramble along the rocks to find a composition before the tide came in and the early light faded
The protruding rocks have lovely definition and patterns worth zooming in on a large screen
Delightful dwellings in Devon, it’s the quintessential thatched cottages that continue to have us smitten. Tucked away down quiet, primrose lanes, nestled into hillsides, and perched on riverbanks, these chocolate box cottages help capture the wistful image of the English countryside idyll.

I took this shot last October, just before the national lockdown began. Dartmoor in west Devon is basically a 240 square mile granite dome that dates from the Carboniferous Period of geological history. Around the fringes of the bleak high moorland the countryside gives way to heavily wooded river valleys and rich grassland. This was photographed on the north-east side of the Dartmoor National Park, near Chagford (which nestles behind the hill) and Moretonhampstead. It is where the farmland ends and the high moor, where sheep, ponies and cattle roam freely, begins.
One of my favourite parts of Dartmoor is the south-west of the moor between Yelverton and Princetown. This was taken from the side of Sharpitor and looks north in the general direction of Princetown. There are numerous remains of the Bronze Age settlements that once inhabited this area, together with old quarries. A railway line from Yelverton to Princetown once snaked its way through this area. The line opened in 1885 and closed in 1956. Most of the traffic came from carrying prisoners, prison officers, and supplies for Dartmoor Prison.
Judy and I were very taken with this friendly little robin who seemed to be following us along the cliff-top path at Beer in Devon. Every time we moved along he fluttered after us and came within a couple of feet, kindly posing for my camera. We went back the next day with some food to see if we could tempt him to feed out of our hands, but he was nowhere to be seen.
This friendly little robin joined us by the edge of the cliff at Beer in Devon, obviously hoping to find something to eat. He followed us closely, often coming within a couple of feet. Sadly, we didn't have any food with us so we returned the next day, hoping he would feed from our hands. We waited to see if he would come back but unfortunately he had decided to move on.

Although there was once a Norman castle in Lydford, on the western fringe of Dartmoor in West Devon, and this ancient building is known as Lydford Castle it is in fact not a castle at all but an ancient prison dating from the late 12th century. The scant remains of the "real" castle are nearby. The earthworks suggest that it may have been a small wooden castle, as so many early Norman castles were.
The prison was in use, on and off, for many hundreds of years, including as an administration centre, but ceased to be used after the construction of Dartmoor Prison in the early 1800s. By the middle of the 19th century it was left in ruins. It is currently owned by English Heritage. There is a fascinating detailed historical note at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydford_Castle.
