Potato Cave

Sheepstor, Tavistock, Devon

Grid ref: SX 5673 6981

Part of Sheepstor →

Potato Cave sits on the open moorland with views across Dartmoor's rolling granite landscape. Despite its name, the true purpose of this small stone structure remains uncertain, it may have been a shelter, a storage space, or something else entirely. Its humble form blends into the moorside, easy to miss unless you know where to look.

Finding it requires walking into the heart of Dartmoor, away from roads and marked paths. The journey itself becomes part of the visit, you'll cross rough grassland, navigate streams, and absorb the quiet vastness of the moor. The site rewards those who seek it out, offering a moment of mystery and contemplation on one of England's wildest landscapes.
