This section encompasses the many places on Dartmoor with legends, historical importance or traditions attached to them. The stories range from the tragic to the diabolical and the factual to the fictional. They all give an excellent insight to life on Dartmoor down through the centuries. The tales will take the reader from on top of the loftiest tor to deep down into the very bowels of Dartmoor where men used to hew the rock in search of the precious ore.

The important thing is that all these places can be visited today, some of them may involve a trek and others a short car ride, so if ever you are down Dartymoor way why not pay the Grimpen Mire or the Leaning Tower a visit, better still go and visit Dartmoor's newest tor or have a pint in its remotest inn. No matter where you go there will be something of interest to everyone be it botany, history, geology,  geography, gastrononomy, entomology, zoology, archaeology, cartography, or any other 'ology' , the moor can easily cater for them all.

Look at many modern map of dartmoor and you will see thousands of place-names, look at an older map and you will see hundreds more that are no longer used. Read any old book and you will find even more forgotten place-names. I have collected a database of around 9,500 past and present place-names on Dartmoor and it is another of my favourite subjects. Every tor, stream, wood, field, road, path, or building has got or at one time had a name and some of them have been forgotten and others are slowly fading into the mists of memory. This section is just a bit of fun to show the diversity of Dartmoor names and what they were/are.
