Lydford Attractions

 
There is a walk through the lovely Cowsic valley to the ancient village of Lydford, founded in Saxon times and a place of considerable standing in the Middle Ages on account of its tin mines. At one time the Keep of Lydford's now ruined 12th century castle was used as a prison, the first of Dartmoor's prisons but no less notorious than the later one at Princetown.

Lydford is a popular tourist destination for the local history and scenic countryside.
