Fice's Well And Cross

Fice's Well and Cross sits on the moorland as a modest but telling reminder of medieval and later use of Dartmoor's high ground. The well itself would have served travellers and shepherds crossing the moor, while the cross marks a stopping point on routes that linked settlements across the upland. Such combinations of water and cross are characteristic of Dartmoor's network of historic tracks and gathering places.

Today the site is understated, as moorland heritage often is. Visitors will find the remnants weathered by centuries of exposure, set among heather and grass. Its place in the landscape speaks to how people once moved through and used these heights, finding water where they needed it and marking their way with stone.
