A Dartmoor day with a difference, one that will inspire you to read that novel again with more of an appreciation and understanding of the back story... On the trail of the many ghost stories, haunting tales and folklore of the high moor dating back to the early 1600s. The moor is peppered with interesting old tales that the locals still cling to as real. Tales of cursed maidens, headless horse drawn carriages, hairy hands of hungry trolls and damning pacts with Old Dewer himself. Not to mention Dartmoor's Hound of the Baskervilles trail and locations that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to set his classic Gothic horror classic on Dartmoor. Locations including some of Dartmoor's most haunted and infamous places; Jays Grave, Bowermans Nose, Grimspound, Holy Trinity Church, Ashburton, Whiteworks ruins, HM Dartmoor Prison, Bennets Cross and the Warren House Inn to name a few.
