Museum of Dartmoor Life- Call to Arms
This morning we all visited the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton; M and I cycling there while the others went by car. It is in a former corn mill and very interesting without being too large and overwhelming. On the outside wall is this striking sculpture created by the creative design team at Castle Drogo. It represents when the stone masons who were working on the Castle, as well as Adrian Drewe, heir to the estate, were called away to fight in the first world war, many never to return. I found it very evocative.
We had a "free" afternoon, before heading off to the village of Chagford for a meal at the Three Crowns.
During the afternoon, Martin and I drove up to Okehampton Camp for views over Okehampton and of Yes Tor and the moors, but couldn't get very far as the road was closed due to the firing ranges being in use.
