Herbalism on Dartmoor - Bronze Age to the Present
A walk with Medical Herbalist and Archaeobotanist Jenny Carden. From Belstone to Sticklepath along the beautiful wooded Cleave, and back over the open moor. We will look for and and identify medicinal plants and trees, and how they would have been used from the bronze Age to the present, as we walk through archaeological evidence of 5000 years of human occupation. There will be chance to try some teas, balms and tinctures as we go!
Part of the Dartmoor Outdoor Festival.
