Dartmoor Imaginings

Ancient land born of magma and shifting crusts.

Granite stone: clapper, circles, borders and boulders.

High tor and crumbled cairn.

Oak, ash, sycamore wood.

Sometimes windblown pigmy tree.

Mossy nooks, fern-masked cranny.

Bird song and cawing crow.

Pony pack and grazing sheep.

Pools, streams, rivers and leat.

Rain, fog, snow and wind.

Baking sun and black burned bracken.

Mist in the mornings, heavens at night.

Wayside inn.

Fireside beer.

Shared old tales

of creeping ghosts.
