From the car park we head down the road to Lepra Cross, not right this time but left along the Two Moors Way across the fields to the ancient settlement of Lettaford. A cluster of dwellings around the village green inhabited before 1300 apparently. One dwelling is a fabulous Dartmoor Longhouse dating back to 1500 now called Sanders. We can stay for as little as £275 for 4 nights. Maybe later when we are allowed out to play again.
We continue along the trackway to Hurston where we take a left hand path onto Chagford Common to explore West Vitifer Tin Mine. We search for three buddles, a stamping floor, wheel pit, shafts and adits. We then head down to the North Walla Brook and discover an agglomerated enclosure of hut circles and a Cairn Cemetery.
Round the enclosed land to find more hut circles. The boundary stones guide us safely round Green Coombe and back up to the cars.
I'm glad this was a virtual walk as the wind blew and the rain rained but it looks a fascinating
area. I can't wait to explore it for real
