View towards the site of the old Brent Station

This view changed fairly recently with the demolition of the old signal box. It deserved a better fate.

Wall by the ford at Shipley Bridge

There isn't much water about today and the ford isn't over the road. The fields here are the last before the unfenced moorland begins.

Marshy patch at Shipley Bridge

Right on the edge of Dartmoor proper here. Facing this way it's green fields and woods but just behind me are the gorse and bracken covered slopes of the unfenced moorland.
