Widecombe-in-the-Moor

A picture-postcard Dartmoor village

Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, England, 21 April 2011

Widecombe is firmly on the Dartmoor tourist honeypot map. But it’s still charming – especially if you visit at the beginning or end of the day.

Ancient houses, cafes and gift shops frame a pint sized village green where Dartmoor ponies come to graze. Of the village’s brace of pubs, the pick is the Rugglestone Inn – a 200m walk from the centre

Dartmoor - Widecombe In The Moor - St. Pancras Church

St Pancras Church

With a soaring 37m tower, 14th century St Pancras church is known as the Cathedral of the Moor and was built on the proceeds of the local tin mining industry.

Inside look out for the panel describing a 1638 lightening strike – said to be the work of the Devil – which killed four and injured dozens more.
