A visit to Wistman's Wood on Dartmoor this week. One of the few remaining remnants of temperate rainforest in the UK. Local legends of spectral hounds are believed to have been the inspiration for Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles

If you can’t comment on a foreign billionaire calling for your government to be brought down, what is the point of you?

Amused that after Historic England posted about Henry Tudor Inn my DMs lit up with sceptical folk. Am I really more trustworthy on this subject than the national curator!? Have I cut through so that folk no longer believe oldest pub claims!? For once the story is true though 🍺
