Widecombe in the Moor

Widecombe in the Moor nestles in a Dartmoor valley, reached via winding lanes from the A382 through Bovey Tracey or country roads from Buckfastleigh. The village sits roughly 20km from Newton Abbot, surrounded by granite tors and open moorland where weather shifts from sun to mist without warning. St Pancras church dominates the settlement with its 120-foot granite tower, known as the "Cathedral of the Moors."
