The Warren House Inn is a remote pub on Dartmoor in Devon, and is said to have a roaring fire that has 'never gone out' since the pub opened in 1845 - and it's a favourite of Prince William
Cosy 'proper' South West pub where royalty stopped for a pint

Dartmoor is magical and this beautiful photo captures it wonderfully.

One more Dartmoor shot, if only because this looks like something out of a Lord of the Rings movie. This was taken in about 60 minutes of sunlight at the end of what had been a relentlessly rainy day.

Dartmoor is England's last true wilderness, and receives millions of visitors each year. It's easy to see why - Dartmoor is beautiful. From the annual Ten Tors event for school kids, to the Dartmoor Classic sportive, to smaller events like Dartmoor In A Day, to just casual visitors and families having a picnic, Dartmoor caters to all. And therein lies the problem.

Dewerstone: What looks to us like a 'proto dolmen', pictured here as part of a Dartmoor rock outcrop. Also stone walls and gaps known as a tor enclosure (a site which resembles a Neolithic causewayed enclosure), with later Bronze Age hut circles and hillfort.

The 'Widdershins III: Dartmoor Mythic Arts" exhibition is in Devon Life magazine this month -- with imagery by several of the artists involved and words from me.

For more info on the exhibition, running all summer at Green Hill Arts on Dartmoor: www.greenhillarts.co.uk/calendar/202...
Image: a page spread from Devon Life's article on the Widdershins III exhibition. The article is titled: Artists' enchantment. The picture on the left (of the Three Hares symbol embedded in the moorland landscape) is by Virginia Lee. The picture on the right (of fairy and troll figures in a dark forest) is by Hazel Brown. Image: a page spread from Devon Life's article on the Widdershins III exhibition. The picture on the left (a close-up portrait of a woodland faery) is by Brian Froud. The top picture on the right (of white horses, symbolic and real, in the moorland landscape) is by Danielle Barlow. The bottom right picture (of a mythic woman with long golden hair playing a flute, in a swirl of mystic, archetypal, and sacred symbolism) is by Marja Lee Kruyt (1943-2023). She left us two years ago, but is still a big presence in Dartmoor mythic arts and the exhibition contains several of her works. The image here is a close-up of the page containing Marja's painting, along with the quote above it: "The power of both myth and art is this ability to make connections - not only between us and the natural world, but between us and the rest of humanity." The quote is from book artist & film designer Alan Lee, whose work is also part of the exhibition.

The Supreme Court has unanimously upheld the right of the public to wild camp on #Dartmoor commons 🙌

Bringing an end to this long-running legal fight, today's ruling has shown the power of the access community when people work together & challenge threats to our #AccessToNature ✊🌳

The #Dartmoor ruling opens up *responsible* recreation - it is not to be mistaken as a ‘free-for-all’. It’s high time the Countryside Code was actively promoted more widely again to balance the concerns. #LeaveNoTrace

It’s not ‘irresponsible campers’ though, really. Lockdown was an exceptional mess, but its more the General Public ‘picnicking at Cadover Bridge on a Bank Holiday Weekend’ problem. The #CountrysideCode hasn’t been properly promoted back into public consciousness for decades. That’d be a good start.
Abandoned litter and disposable BBQ mess on #Dartmoor. Caption: Stick to footpaths, leave no trace. Follow the Countryside Code. [Happy Molehill logo branding, echoing the National Park logo] NATURAL ENGLAND Poster: The Countryside Code -Respect other people • Consider the local community and other people enjoying the outdoors • Park carefully so access to gateways and driveways is clear • Leave gates and property as you find them • Follow paths but give way to others where it's narrow -Protect the natural environment • Leave no trace of your visit, take all your litter home • Don't have BBQs or fires • Keep dogs under effective control • Dog poo - bag it and bin it -Enjoy the outdoors • Plan ahead, check what facilities are open, be prepared • Follow advice and local signs and obey social distancing measures
