Somewhere to rest

Our holiday continues in South Devon, but rather than take the either of the A roads from Cornwall we struck out across the top of Dartmoor. The Lake District may be a more popular destination for walkers, but nothing can beat the wilderness down here in the south-west.

And here on the edge of the moor, a couple of miles north of Widecombe in the Moor, a furniture maker has placed a 20-foot high chair. What better place to stop and rest?

It won't be there forever though. Limited planning permission means it's due to be removed in early 2009. Until then, if you're in the area it's worth a quick trip. (OS grid reference: TQ 725800.)
