Why This American Loves Dartmoor

Dartmoor is this magnificent place in southwest England that is a geologic marvel, a timeless landscape, and a human history par excellence. We recently visited it (for the fifth time, actually), and I had to give it a shoutout on A Yank in Sussex.

So here we are: A Yank on Dartmoor: Why This American Loves Dartmoor

Here’s a link to a delightful rendition of the old Widecombe Fair folk song:    • Widecombe Fair - English Folk Song
