A Boot Up Dartmoor's Sites of Magic and Mystery, John Earle - Few places in the country are so atmospheric as the moorland that comprises the Dartmoor National Park. Little wonder that Conan Doyle, author of one of the

A land of mists and giant tors, ancient woodland and bottomless mires, creates a natural world in which legends and folklore abound. This book of 10 walks of varying length takes the reader along pathways to some of
Dartmoor's most intriguing places. With his intimate knowledge of the moor, John Earle has combined exhilarating walks and superb views with numerous sites associated with ghosts, apparitions, evil spirits, phantoms and fairies. The walks include: The Body in the Chest -The Warren House Inn area, A Night Trapped Down a Mine Shaft - Birch Tor area, The Wish Hounds and the Hunter -The Hound Tor area, The Ghost of Judge Jeffreys - Lydford, The Work of the
Devil at Brent Tor, Great Grimpen Mire - near Princetown, The Ghost of Jan Coo - From Poundsgate to Dartmeet, The Evil Spirit of Squire Cabell - Buckfast, The Hairy Hands -Bellever Forest and Powdermills, The Phantom Roman Soldiers - Lustleigh Cleave. Published March 11.

also has a number of beautiful rivers that have cut deep valleys, now
thickly wooded, at places such as the Teign gorge at Castle Drogo. The walks

moorland reservoir, to a tougher route across the open moor to explore the
upper reaches of one of Dartmoor's prettiest rivers. Published October
