South Devon's more remote parts

Although it's actually just a 20min or so drive if you really know the right country lanes ... out here

"Marvelous Creatures and Where to Find Them"

On the moors ... the dark, windy, cold remote lands where you must be well prepared if are you to wonder.


HEADLESS CHICKENS ROAM FREELY

No, that is not photoshopped. I didn't even notice I was so busy looking at the bobble headed chickens, until my Aunt Deb's pointed it out to me over lunch. Thanks for the roadtrip Deb's :)

Wish i'd made a video as some of the roads appear to have been carved by nature and horses from another era, and happen to be paved today for us to use carefully by motorcar.

I'm not kidding. Some chickens have bobbleheads and some have no head at all.

You will get quite lost if you go wondering around those hills without a map. More lost than a headless chicken.

Not a lot to commentate here, apart from it's Dartmoor and it all looks dramatic. You'll need a tent and a good sleeping bag.
