Bowerman's Nose: The Real Origin of Dartmoor's Witch Legend - Glavind Strachan Photography — Glavind Strachan Photography
The witch and hare legend of Bowerman's Nose isn't ancient folklore. A Dartmoor photographer traces it back to a forgotten 1939 book by Aileen Georgina Skinner.

It turns out that apparently it might be part of a broken down Stone Row 😍 I asked Alan Endacott about it and he says he found it about 20 years ago while looking for a Stone Row mentioned by Worth in the area!

That's what I thought when I stood on it to rest 🤣 You can only see how big it is when the bracken has died back ... I expect it's just a big rock ... but fun to speculate 😁

It should be approached carefully ... it's not all bad - but especially closer to Steeperton Tor, you want to watch your step 😂 Below Metheral Hill is where Alan Endacott has discovered a "new" stone circle ... glavindstrachan.com/blog/alan-en...

Back in August I went for a walk on #Dartmoor with Helen the Communications Officer from @dpadartmoor.bsky.social to shoot some fairy tale influenced images to illustrate the amazing "Wild Words" anthology she is curating 😍 Check it out here : dartmoorpreservation.co.uk/wild-words/

That's what I was looking for ... I'd been there on a guided walk with Alan Endacott (the guy who discovered it) in September and went back to check out a theory I had (which of course had zero legs 🤣)

According to the fantastic Dartefacts (dartefacts.co.uk) ... this is Eylesbarrow Stamping/Smelting Mill No.2 om #Dartmoor (I'm not arguing) this is the first time I've visited the ruins of the Eylesbarrow Tin Mine and it will definitely be getting a second visit 😍 Splendid day out 💚📷

A foolhardy attempt to catalogue everything about #Dartmoor ? Or a commendable quest for knowledge? Only time will tell 🤣 ... visit the new website at ourdartmoor.co.uk It's very much a work in progress ... please feel free to make suggestions for inclusion in the directory 😍
