Exploring Around Burrator - A Dartmoor Reservoir (Updated Edition)
2023
This book is about the farms around Burrator Reservoir on Dartmoor: the story of the buildings and the people that once lived there. Some of these farms had stood for over 700 years before, one by one, they became derelict, the major cause being the new reservoir built in the 1890s. This is the people's story. The Updated Edition, published in April 2023, contains lots more information and photographs, both historical and modern, than the original.
