Holly Cottage Lilac Cottage Pilgrim Cottage
Devon
Holly Cottage, Lilac Cottage and Pilgrim Cottage form a small settlement whose names reflect the domestic landscape of rural Dartmoor. The buildings are Grade II* listed, indicating their significant historic and architectural interest. Their origins likely lie in the medieval or early modern period, when smallholdings and cottages began to spread across the moorland margins and into sheltered valleys.
Today the cottages survive as part of Dartmoor's fabric of dispersed settlement. They represent the modest dwellings that have housed generations of moorland people, from farmers and labourers to those serving the wider community. Walking the area around them offers insight into how Dartmoor's landscape has been shaped and inhabited over centuries.
