ギドリーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A pub has stood on this site for 200 years, in a building that's likely even older. Delicious food, excellent service.

Set in a wooded valley in the heart of Dartmoor, Fernworthy supplies fresh drinking water to the towns and cities around the moor. The sloping, open grassland to the south of the water is a fantastic viewpoint and a great place from which to spot wildlife.

Injured Ponies If you notice a pony (or other farm animal) injured or ill please call the Dartmoor Livestock Protection Officer on 07873 587561. For more information visit  www.dlps.org.uk. PLEASE… do not feed or pet the ponies, they may kick or bite, no matter how cute they are!

Dartmoor Ponies There is no more iconic sight on Dartmoor than a herd of ponies grazing together against the stunning, majestic backdrop of Dartmoor. They have been here for a long time. Hoof prints found during an archaeological dig on Dartmoor date back 3,500 years! Written records of ponies on the moor date back to 1012 AD and in the mid-19th century ponies were used to transport granite from the moorland quarries. In 1950 there were thought to be around 30,000 ponies on the moor, but today there are only around 1,500. Herds of purebred Dartmoor ponies, Heritage ponies, Hill ponies, Shetland ponies, Welsh ponies and spotted ponies are scattered throughout the moor. All ponies are owned by various Dartmoor Commoners (farmers and residents of the moor who have grazing rights on the open moor). https://visitdartmoor.co.uk/things-to-do/dartmoor-ponies/

The Bronze Age stone circle of Scorhill is located southwest of Gidleigh, above and not far from the North Teign (river) near the confluence of its tributary the Wallabrook. It is considered to be by far the finest example of its kind in Devonshire and is the only one of the stone circles on Dartmoor in England that has not been restored. (Wikipedia)

There is a small lake 10 meters upstream. We were able to have a wonderful picnic break here. After a while the cows came to drink. It was wonderful to watch the whole thing. In general, it is a very beautiful river with beautiful vegetation and the stone bridge is a great photo opportunity.

Simply beautiful and absolutely worth seeing, the nature and the stone bridge, it just fits!

It is a distinctive rock, not only for its magnificent views, but also for its huge rock pool at the summit, formed by the weathering of weakened feldspar crystals. Before geological processes were fully understood, rock pools were described in folklore as the work of the Druids, who needed a camp as close to the sky as possible to "store sacred water and collect the blood of human sacrifices".
