Europe Day 4: Dartmoor

Yesterday we drove all around Dartmoor. It's a really pretty moor region with quaint little villages and very, very, very narrow one way roads. We had lots of fun winding around hoping no cars would meet up with us. We only had to back up a few times so people could pass. We went to Scorhill to hike on the moor and see a stone circle like Stonehenge (only much smaller). It was different then anything else I'd seen. There were cows roaming around and it felt like I'd been transported to the 18th century. I've posted some pictures below but there were so many great ones that I decided to post an album on facebook.

This is the stone circle we hiked to. It makes you realize how big Stonehenge is.


We think these trees were planted as a wind break for the farm that you can't see in this picture

I believe this is part of Hound tor (tors are big rock formations caused by weathering)
