Sharp Tors and Blunt Houses in Dartmoor's Wilderness

Trekked around Hare Tor, Doe Tor, Chat Tor and the rather splendid, if rather commonly named, Sharp Tor on Dartmoor.  Between the squalls and hail it was a nice day.



I then found the old Tinners' Building at Wheal Frederick on the Doetor Brook.

A beautiful place, very bleak but peaceful.  The ruins show a water-wheel pit and where the water was laundered into the biggest buddle I've seen.



Human history crumbling into the wild landscape.
