Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Dartmoor: The Lych Way During mediaeval times the village of Lydford on the north-western side of Dartmoor was one of the four most important settlements in Devon with its own 1020064, and 1020339. Folk who lived and eked out a living in the centre of Dartmoor were therefore taken to Lydford for burial when they died, and the route across the moors from the Hexworthy area to Lydford was known as the Lych Way.
Snaking across very flat boggy moorland this is the bridleway that is known as the Lych Way today, but looking back in the Hexworthy direction, rather than forward to Lydford. Up until 1999 the bridleway followed a straight line route more or less due west from the Higher Cherrybrook Bridge car park, but it was diverted to its current course in that year. The planted trees in the distance form part of the Bellever Forest. |
