Know as the Cathedral of the Moor, Widecombe's pretty St Pancras church is quite something to behold. Its tower is 120-foot (37 m) high and can be seen fro considerable distance.

The church was damaged during the Great Thunderstorm of 1638 – with hundreds of parishioners inside when lightning struck, killing four. Folklore says the devil visited, causing the lightning.

Mountain biking

A pretty touristy village in a steep valley. A good place to start a ride with parking, good cafes, a shop and plenty of good riding from the door. The Rugglestone Inn slightly out of the village is the best pub.
