Disused Farmhouse at Flood

Devon

This disused farmhouse sits isolated on Dartmoor's high ground near Flood, a landscape of stone walls, rough pasture and wide skies. The building is Grade II* listed, reflecting its historic importance. Like many upland farms on the moor, it speaks to centuries of marginal agriculture and the lives of people who worked this demanding terrain.

Today the farmhouse stands empty, its fabric slowly weathering into the moorland around it. For walkers crossing this part of Dartmoor, it offers a quiet reminder of the moor's human history and the shifting fortunes of settlement on open ground. The site rewards closer attention from anyone interested in how people have lived and worked on Dartmoor.
