Inside every seemingly strange story of giants, pixies, witches, dragons and big black hounds with fiery eyes, there is often a small kernel of truth.

What are the real histories or possible origins and inspirations behind the Devil at Widecombe Church, ‘Hairy Hands’, ‘Faithless Wives and Fickle Maidens of Chagford’, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Drizzlecombe Dragon, Bowerman’s Nose, Jay’s Grave – and more?

Journey across Dartmoor through its myths and legends to discover how this extraordinary living, working landscape has inspired the imagination and commanded respect from its inhabitants for around 12,000 years.

We are shaped by the land we live on and within. Consider how these stories and characters may have governed life in rural communities in the past but may also have relevance today, when so many of us are seeking a sense of belonging, understanding and (re)connection. And what are the new stories and archetypes that need to be listened to and shared?
